To find the distance between two points (-3,7) and (7,-3) we need to use the distance formula and solve.

Square root ((7- (-3) )^2 + (-3 - 7)^2)
= square root ((10)^2 + (-10)^2)
=square root (100 + 100)
= square root 200
=10 square root 2

So i'm throwing the ball a distance of 10 square root 2

To find the coordinate for the center of the four square court, we need to find the average of the x-coordinates and the average of the y-coordinates of the four corners of the court.

The four corners of the court can be represented as (-20, 20), (20, 20), (-20, -20), and (20, -20).

Average of x-coordinates = ( -20 + 20 + -20 + 20 ) / 4 = 0 / 4 = 0

Average of y-coordinates = ( 20 + 20 + -20 + -20 ) / 4 = 0 / 4 = 0

Therefore, the coordinate for the center of the four square court is (0, 0).
