Mia Hamm, star of the United Stated team, has just received the ball on a breakaway. She is 60 yards from Brazil's goal. Brazilian star Sissi is the closest oponent to Hamm and is 10 yds behind her. Mia takes off for Brazil's goal and, while dribbling the ball, is able to run at a speed of 6.8 yds. per second. Sissi takes off at the same time as Hamm and runs at 8.4 yds per second. (She is able to run faster because she is not dribbling the ball.) Hamm has decided to shoot at the exact moment that Sissi catches up to her, because at that point it will still be difficult for Sissi to block the shot when she is side by side with Hamm. How far away from the goal will Hamm be when she shoots?
