2a. A quarterback throws a football from a position that is 10 yards from the goal line and 15 yards from the sideline. His receiver catches it at a position that is 50 yards from the same goal line and 5 yards from the same sideline. Find the distance of the throw.

2b. Explain how you created the two points in order to find the distance.

Respuesta :

The calculated distance of this throw is given as 41.23 meters.

How to solve for the distance of the throw.

In order to solve for this, we have to make use of the formula for calculating distance.

This is given as:

[tex]\sqrt{(x^{2}-x^{1} ) } (y^{2} -y^{1} )[/tex]

This is substituted as

sqr(50-10)²+(5-15)²

= √40² +√ -10²

= √1700

= 41.23

b. The points were created to find the distance by making use of yards from the goals and the yards from the sidelines.
