Questions: A pool player located at X wants to shoot the white ball off the top cushion and hit the red ball dead center. He knows from physics that the white ball will come off a cushion at the same angle as that at which it hit the cushion. If the deflection angle, θ, is 47°, where on the top cushion should he hit the white ball? The white ball should hit the top cushion approximately from the top left comer. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)
