Answer:

Yes, that distance is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose sides are known

Explanation:

The diagram seems to show the path of the ball as being two segments that are at right angles to each other. Then the direct-line distance to the hole from the tee is the hypotenuse (part A) of the triangle.

Since the leg lengths are known, the Pythagorean theorem can be used (part B) to find the length of the hypotenuse. (The answer to Part B is also the answer to Part C.)
