a basketball is dropped from a height of 40 feet . if it bounces back up to a height that is exactly half of its previous height , and it stops bouncing after hitting the ground for the fourth time , then how many total feet will the ball have traveled after 3 full bounces .
"initial distance = 40 feet first bounce = 20 feet up + 20 feet down = 40 feet second bouche = 10 feet up + 10 feet down = 20 feet third bounce = 5 feet up and 5 feet down = 10 feet total distance covered = 40 + 40 + 20 + 10 = 110 answer is c"
