Question

You and your friend are standing back-to-back. Your friend runs 16 feet forward and then 12 feet right. At the same time, you run 12 feet forward and then 9 feet right. You stop and throw a baseball to your friend, who catches it. How far did you throw the baseball?

Answer 1

I show an example in the picture below. If you know how to solve with Pythagorean theorem this problem should be fairly easy. All you have to do is make 2 triangles and solve for C. Once you solve for C for both triangles you should get 20 for one answer and 15 for the other answer. Then all you do is just add them together so your answer should be 35 feet.
