If a football player positioned on the scrimmage line runs straight downfield for 26 yards and then cuts to his left for 6.0
yards to receive a pass, what is the football player's total displacement from the scrimmage line? (Use trigonometry to
answer, but remember to draw a diagram to help your understanding.) Give both the magnitude and the angle in your
answer.
A) 33 yd and 14° to the left of the scrimmage line
B) 33 yd and 13 to the left of the scrimmage line
C) 27 yd and 13° to the left of the scrimmage line
D) 27 yd and 14 to the left of the scrimmage line
