Case 1: The puck travelled a distance of 53.8 meters when the puck is 120 centimeters before the opponent's goal.
Case 2: The puck travelled a distance of 56.2 meters when the puck is 120 centimeters after the opponent's goal.
Given that the distance to the opponent's goal from the player's current position is 55 meters. And after the shot, the puck is 120 centimeters from his opponent's goal.
We need to find out how many meters the puck travelled.
Also given there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter.
So, 55 meters = 55 × 100 centimeters
⇒ 55 metets = 5500 centimeters
Now, we are given that the puck is 120 centimeters from the opponent’s goal. It is not clear whether the puck landed before or after the goal post. So, considering both cases.
Case 1: the puck is 120 centimeters beyond the opponent's goal.
So, the distance travelled by the puck is
5500 centimeters + 120 centimeters = 5620 centimeters
Divide 5620 by 100 to convert centimeters to meters.
The puck travelled a distance of 5620 cm or 56.2 meters.
Case 2: the puck is 120 centimeters before the opponent's goal.
So, the distance travelled by the puck is
5500 centimeters - 120 centimeters = 5380 centimeters
Divide 5380 by 100 to convert centimeters to meters.
The puck travelled a distance of 5,380 cm or 53.8 meters.
