483

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

We need to covert 100 m to cm
1m=100 cm
100m=10000cm
so if he threw it and it landed 60 from on end, the pool is still same width/legnth so
it depends on whether it landed in the pool 60 cm away from edge or outside of the pool, 60 cm from edge
if in go to AAAAAAAAAA
if out got to BBBBBBB

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
60+distance to other edge=width of pool=10000
60+d=10,000
subtract 60
9940 cm

BBBBBBBBBB
60+width=distance
60+10,000
10,060 cm

if it landed IN the pool 60 cm away from edge, answer is 9940cm
if it landed OUTSIDE of the pool, 60 cm from edge, answer is 10,060 cm
