A right triangle formed by the vertical and horizontal distances between an archer and a target. The hypotenuse is the direct distance between the archer and the target.

Ally went to summer camp this summer so she could learn archery. At first she wasn't very good at it and she could never hit the target.

One of the camp counselors told her that archery is all about knowing what angle to shoot the arrow. The counselor explained that she should think of the space between herself and the target as a right triangle.

The target is 1212 feet away from where Ally is standing and the hypotenuse of this triangle is 1313 feet.

At what angle does Ally need to shoot the arrow in order to hit the target?
