A friction-less board has the shape of an equilateral triangle of side length
meter with bouncing walls along the sides. A tiny super bouncy ball is fired from vertex
towards the side
. The ball bounces off the walls of the board nine times before it hits a vertex for the first time. The bounces are such that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. The distance travelled by the ball in meters is of the form
, where
is an integer. What is the value of
?
