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?

Respuesta :

Answer:

35 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of this as a right triangle with one leg 16 + 12 = 28

and the other leg 12 + 9 =21

The hypotenuse it the distance of the throw.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 28² + 21²

c² = 784 + 441

c² = 1,225

Take the square root of both sides

c = 35

35 feet
