The distance the ball was thrown can be calculated using the distance formula in a straight line, which is the Pythagorean theorem.
Distance = sqrt((change in x)^2 + (change in y)^2)
In this case, the change in x is 0 (since the x-coordinate remains the same at 1) and the change in y is 22-5 = 17.
Distance = sqrt(0^2 + 17^2)
Distance = sqrt(0 + 289)
Distance = sqrt(289)
Distance = 17 yards
Therefore, the ball was thrown 17 yards.
The correct option is:
17 yards
Distance = sqrt((change in x)^2 + (change in y)^2)
In this case, the change in x is 0 (since the x-coordinate remains the same at 1) and the change in y is 22-5 = 17.
Distance = sqrt(0^2 + 17^2)
Distance = sqrt(0 + 289)
Distance = sqrt(289)
Distance = 17 yards
Therefore, the ball was thrown 17 yards.
The correct option is:
17 yards
