Question

jacob is playing miniature golf. he states that he cannot hit the ball from the start, bounce it off the back wall once, and reach the hole in one shot. is jacob correct? a. jacob is correct. it is not possible to hit the ball from the start, bounce it off the back wall once, and reach the hole in one shot. b. jacob is incorrect. to make the shot, he should first reflect the starting position over the back wall. he should aim at the mid - point between the starting position and the reflection of the starting position. c. jacob is incorrect. to make the shot, he should first reflect the hole over the back wall. he should aim at the mid - point between the hole and the reflection of the hole. question 2 of 10 clear all check answer back next

Explanation:

Step1: Understand reflection principle in geometry

In geometry, when dealing with reflection - based problems like this miniature golf shot, we use the concept of reflection of points over lines (in this case, the back - wall acts as the line of reflection).

Step2: Analyze the correct aiming method

To make a shot bounce off a wall and reach a target, we reflect the target (the hole) over the wall. Then we aim at the mid - point between the starting position and the reflection of the hole. So Jacob is incorrect.

Answer:

C. Jacob is incorrect. To make the shot, he should first reflect the hole over the back wall. He should aim at the midpoint between the hole and the reflection of the hole.
