In a video game, two golfers tee off at hole 6, which has the coordinates (–32, –27). Golfer A’s ball lands at (–43, –18). Golfer B’s ball lands at (–44, –16). Which golfer hit the longer shot?

Compare each ball’s change in coordinates from the tee at (–32, –27). Golfer A travels √[(-43 + 32)² + (-18 + 27)²] = √202, while Golfer B travels √[(-44 + 32)² + (-16 + 27)²] = √265. Since 265 is greater than 202, Golfer B hit the longer shot.
