Question

I need help and please give me an understandable answer because I need to go to bed right now. I used 31 and 40 feet and none of them worked

Answer 1

Answer:

35 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the resultant for you and your friend.

For you:

R² = 12² + 9²

R² = 144 + 81

R² = 225

Take the square root of both side

R = √225

R = 15 feet

For your friend:

R² = 16² + 12²

R² = 256 + 144

R² = 400

Take the square root of both side

R = √400

R = 20 feet

Finally, we shall determine the distance between you and your friend.

The distance between you and your friend is obtained by adding your resultant and that of your friend together i.e

You resultant = 15 feet

Your friend's resultant = 20 feet

Distance between you and your friend = 15 + 20 = 35 feet.

Therefore, you threw the baseball 35 feet away from your friend.
