A baseball player in center field is approximately b = 360 feet from a television camera that is behind home plate. A batter hits a fly ball that goes to the wall 420 feet from the camera (see figure). The camera turns e = 6° to follow the play. Approximately how far does the center fielder have to run to make the catch? (Round your answer to one decimal place.) x ft 420 ft
