Answer 1

9940 cm

Explanation:

A pool is 100m by 100m which means that its length and breadth both is of 100m.

1 m = 100 cm

100 m = 100 * 100 cm

=10000 cm

The distance of a ball thrown by a toddler inside the pool from one edge of pool = 60 cm

The distance of a ball thrown by a toddler inside the pool from other edge of pool:
