  1. You need to make a bank shot. Sketch the path of the cue ball so it will bounce off of the bottom side and knock the solid orange 5 ball into the upper right corner pocket.

  1. A true bank shot will create two similar right triangles. Determine the measures of the triangles you drew. Are they similar?

  1. Calculate the exact point on the bottom side to aim for and then precisely draw the path of the ball.
