Ezra has to throw a beanbag 17 feet far to reach Allie
According to the question,
The distance between Allie and Ezra's flagpoles is 15 feet
length of Allie's flagpole = 35 feet
length of Ezra's flagpole = 27 feet
Difference between Allie and Ezra's flagpole = (35 - 27) feet
= 8 feet
Now, there forms a right angled triangle, where hypotenuse is the distance that Ezra's bean bad has to cover.
Using Pythagoras theorem,
where H = hypotenuse,
B= Base of the triangle
A = Altitude of the triangle
we are given,
B = 15 feet,
A = 8 feet
On substituting the values,
So hypotenuse = 17 feet
Ezra has to throw the beanbag 17 feet far in order to reach it to Allie.
