On her first shot, a golfer hit the ball 167 yards. on her second shot, she hit the ball another 49 feet and made it almost to the hole. on her final shot, the ball went only 7 inches before going in the hole. how many total inches did the ball travel?

the answer is 6607 if it has to be in total inches

167*36=6012 49*12=588 6012+588=6607

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
