Geocache Description:

*****THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES!!!******
Solve the puzzle below to discover the actual coordinates.


Two of the MacFive children were recently doing a local math-related puzzle. On the first try, they read the problem wrong and solved an entirely different problem from what was intended. However, when they learned of the true problem, they decided they liked their problem better. This puzzle is the result of their 'better' problem.

 

Two tennis greats, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, are doing a tennis drill together. On one side of the court, Djokovic is standing at the furthest back ad-side corner of the court. He hits the ball to Federer, who is standing on the baseline at the center mark on the other side of the court. Federer then hits the ball at a 24 degree angle back to Djokovic. Federer's ball is hit at a velocity of 74 feet/sec and travels in the air for .71 seconds. Djokovic runs to hit the ball.
 
 
 
How far (in feet) did Djokovic have to run to return the ball that Federer hit? Let this be "A".


Round all intermediate calculations to the hundredths place.
Round A to the nearest integer.
