Question

Calculate Tre's Throw:

5. Using the distance formula, calculate how far Tre threw the ball. (4 points: 2 points for setup, 1 for calculation, 1 for the answer).

Answer 1

D= 63.717

Explanation:

Substitute values for x's and y's

`\sqrt (42.78 - 0) ^(2) + (42.78 - 90)^(2)`

`\sqrt42.78^(2) + ( - 47.22) ^(2)`

`\sqrt1830.1284 \: + 2229.7284`

`\sqrt4059.8568`

`= 63.717`

So, the ball travelled a distance of 63.717 units
