Algebra.Com's Answer #573798 by josmiceli(19441)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Attach a 2nd table below this one which is \n" ); document.write( "a mirror image of balls A and B \n" ); document.write( "Then attach a 3rd table to the right of that \n" ); document.write( "table which is a mirror image of A and B in the 2nd table \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "All you have to do is shoot ball A in the 1st table \n" ); document.write( "and aim for B in the 3rd table \n" ); document.write( " Ball A will hit both rails in the right spots \n" ); document.write( "-------------- \n" ); document.write( "The rails are not included in the reflections, \n" ); document.write( "only the surface that the ball rolls on \n" ); document.write( "Hope this is what you need \n" ); document.write( "Try drawing it \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
