The drawings below (Fig. 5.37), show angles formed by the goalposts at different positions of a football player. The greater the angle, the better chance the player has of scoring a goal. For example, the player has a better chance of scoring a goal from Position A than from Position B.
In Parts (a) and (b) given below it may help to trace the diagrams and draw and measure angles.
a) Seven football players are practicing their kicks. They are lined up in a straight line in front of the goalpost [Fig.(ii)]. Which player has the best (the greatest) kicking angle?
b) Now the players are lined up as shown in Fig. (iii). Which player has the best kicking angle?
c) Estimate at least two situations such that the angles formed by different positions of two players are complement to each other.
(a) The player 4 has the best kicking angle since its position is the best.
(b) The player 4 has the best kicking angle since its position is the midway between all the players.
c) When the angles are complementary the sum is always 900
The two different positions of the player may be
i.) 300 and 600
ii.) 00 and 900
