Question

a wide receiver lines up eight yards to the right of a quarterback the quarterback steps three yards backward the wide receiver runs six yards forward and the pass is thrown how long was the pass?

Answer 1

The pass length is 11 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pass is the distance between the wide receiver and the quarterback after the wide receiver runs forward and the quarterback steps backward. Let's calculate the pass length step by step:

1. The initial distance between the wide receiver and the quarterback is 8 yards.
2. The quarterback steps 3 yards backward, so the distance between them becomes 8 + (-3) = 5 yards.
3. The wide receiver runs 6 yards forward, so the final distance between them is 5 + 6 = 11 yards.

Therefore, the length of the pass is 11 yards.
