Question

in disc golf, player tries to throw a disc into a metal basket target. four disc golf targets on a course are shown in the diagram. Which line segment represents the targets that have the shortest distance between them?

Answer 1

EXPLANATION

The player tries to throw a disc into the metal basket, so the targets that are closest togheter are represented by the BC segment because it has the closest angle and path.

The angle CBD is equal to 64 degrees by sum of interior angles definition. Furthermore, angle CBD is congruent to angle ABD.

The angle DAB is equal to 56 degrees.

In order to get an angle DAB equal to 56 degrees, the point A must be further away.

So, the only triangle that can satisfy the condition is the △BCD.

The point D is not an option because it is farther away from B and D because it has a closest angle.

So, the answer is the segment BC.
