For a baserunning drill, a coach places bases at A(1, 1) and B(4, 1), where each unit of the coordinate plane represents 10 feet. The coach wants to locate base C so that the distance from B to C is 40 feet and so that the three bases form a right triangle.

a. What is a possible location for base C?
b. Is there more than one possibility for the location of base C? Explain
c.What is the distance from base A to base C? Does this distance depend upon which of the possible locations for base C the coach chooses? Justify your response.
