Answer:

89.263 m I couldn't remember the easist way of doing this type of summation problem. I used brute force. a spread sheet would have been quicker

Step-by-step explanation: 6 17 22 16

Event Formula Calculation Running Summation

1 20 20 20

2 20(4/5) 16 36

3 20(4/5)(4/5) 12.8 48.8

4 20(4/5)(4/5)(4/5) 10.24 59.04

5 20(4/5)^4 8.192 67.232

6 20(4/5)^5 6.554 73.786

7 20(4/5)^6 5.453 79.028

8 20(4/5)^7 4.194 82.223

9 20(4/5)^8 3.355 86.578

10 20(4/5)^9 2.684 89.263

add the results from each swing

I got 89.263 meters
