Jessica is trying to win this game of pool. She needs to hit the cue ball (white ball) 10 in. into the yellow ball so it will travel 15 in. to bounce off the back wall, travel across the table, and then land in the pocket. Determine the distance (d) that the yellow ball must travel after hitting the back wall to land in the pocket. A. 32 in.

The yellow ball will travel 15 inches + 15 + 10 = 40 inches
