With $1\mathrm{.}66$ss left on the clock, a basketball player, whose team is down by two points, makes a last$-$ditch three$-$point shot from somewhere on the court. If the ball's initial velocity vector makes an angle of $49\mathrm{.}8$oo to the horizontal, and the ball reaches the basket at the exact moment when the clock runs down to $0\mathrm{.}0$s$0\mathrm{.}0$s$,$ how far from the basket $($in feet$)$ was the player when the shot was made? Assume that the basket is $10\mathrm{.}0$ft$10\mathrm{.}0$ft above the ground, and that the ball is thrown from a height of $7\mathrm{.}46$ftft above the ground.
