The calculated distance of this throw is given as 41.23 meters.

How to solve for the distance of the throw.

In order to solve for this, we have to make use of the formula for calculating distance.

This is given as:

[tex]\sqrt{(x^{2}-x^{1} ) } (y^{2} -y^{1} )[/tex]

This is substituted as

sqr(50-10)²+(5-15)²

= √40² +√ -10²

= √1700

= 41.23

b. The points were created to find the distance by making use of yards from the goals and the yards from the sidelines.
