    1) Initial fall = > 46 yards

    2) First bounce = > rising 46/2 yards and falling the same = > 23*2 = 46

    3) Second bounce = > rising 23/2 yards and falling the same = > 11.5*2 = 23

    4) Third bounce = > rising 11.5/2 yards and falling the same = > 5.75 * 2 = 11.5

    5) Fourth bounce = > rising 5.75 / 2 yards = 2.875

    Sum = 46 + 46 + 23 + 11.5 + 2.875 = 129.375

    Answer: 129.375 yd
