a.
To represent the location of player
a.
Answer to Problem 57PPS
(47, -25) are the coordinates.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Width of court= 50 feet
Length of court= 94 feet
Center is the origin
Calculation:
If center is origin, its coordinates are (0, 0)
Also, the center divides the court equally.
So, x -axis are divided into 47 units left and right and,
Y -axis are divided into 25 units top and bottom.
So, player at bottom right is at the location of coordinates (47, -25)
b.
To find the distance ball travels
b.
Answer to Problem 57PPS
distance ball travelled is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Coordinates of player and origin
Calculation:
Using distance formula,
Let
Now,
Distance=
Substituting value,
Now,
Opening squares,
Adding,
Hence, distance ball travelled is
