Tasha went golfing. Tasha hit the ball 220 yards down the fairway and then 165 yards to the hole. What would have been the shortest distance had she just hit the ball from the tee area to the hole?

385 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information provided we can only assume that the two hits that Tasha performed were in a straight line and in the same direction. Otherwise we would need to know the direction and/or angle of the shots. Assuming they were straight, the shortest minimum distance between the tee area and the hole would be calculated by adding the distance of the two shots.

220 yards + 165 yards = 385 yards
