Question

Laser Tag
There are three teachers playing laser tag and there are lines that create a coordinate grid. On the coordinate grid the teachers stand at points (0, 0), (3,-1), and (8, 13). At point (0, 0) Mr. Hewitt takes cover, while the two other teachers Mrs. Hoffman (8, 13) and Mrs. Chisholm (3, -1) have direct lines to shoot. Mrs. Hoffman is 15.3 ft away from Mr. Hewitt while Mrs. Chisholm is only 3.2 ft away. However in order for Mrs. Chisholm to take the shot she must step out into the open where she knows that Mrs. Hoffman can tag her. What is a reason that Mrs. Chisholm is positive

Answer 8

My guess is that Mrs. C could take the shot before Mrs. H could shoot her

Answer 9

Wow.. I don't really need to help with you anything. Since she's closer to Mr. Hewitt and has a better chance of actually being able to shoot and then get back into cover than Mrs. Hoffman who's 15.3 ft away. Most laser guns can't eve reach that far, so she'd have to be quick reflexes, and also, she'd have to step up a little bit.
