Question 54102: (10) A golf course has a dog leg to get to Hole Number 15 due to a large water hazard on the course. The course map indicates it's 200 yards to the dog leg of 90 degrees angle then 150 yards from that point to the hole. A confident player thinks he can hit it directly over the water to the hole. What club should he select to attempt a direct shot at the hole, without going past the hole?
[Hint: The Pythagorean Theorum defines the relationship for sides of right triangles ... look it up, if you don't know the formula, OK. It requires you to square the sides and take the square root of the summation of sides.]
Answer by stanbon(75887)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! distance^2=150^2 + 200^2
distance = sqrt (62500)
distance = 250 yrds.
The club selected would depend on the player, the wind,
the elevation of the green and a large number of other
factors.
Cheers,
Stan H.
