I have been stuck on this problem(which my teacher gave me) for days now, any response would be appreciated:
Here is a picture of the question, which gives the various measurements (keep in mind that the measurements might be a bit off as my class physically measured every length and angle)
The problem reads:
[FONT="]James (who is standing at D) kicks a ball towards Bob who is standing at P. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Bob needs to kick the ball at 17 degrees from P to a point on line G(in a straight line)(e.g. top of the goal). How far horizontally from G must he aim?(e.g. how far away from G is the point?).
[/FONT][FONT="]
I know that the answer is between 4.8-5.2, but I just need to know how you would to that answer.
This picture shows the progress I have made so far:

I used trig on the triangle and found various side lengths, but I just don't know where to go from here
Any answer would be appreciated(please show full working)
Thank you!
