Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
6+8=14
The hurdle and runner form a right triangle (see attached picture) such that
sin(30°) = <em>h</em> / (5 ft)
and
cos(30°) = <em>x</em> / (5 ft)
where <em>h</em> is the height of the hurdle and <em>x</em> is the horizontal distance from where the runner jumps to the hurdle. So
<em>h</em> = (5 ft) sin(30°) = 5/2 ft = 2.5 ft
<em>x</em> = (5 ft) cos(30°) = (5√3)/2 ft ≈ 4.33 ft
The distance between town X and Town Y is equal to the difference between the distance between Town X and Town Z and the distance from Town Y and Town Z. Mathematically
d (X-Y) = d (X-Z) - d(Y-Z)
Substituting,
d(X-Y) = 57 miles - 28 miles = 29 miles
Thus, the distance from Town X to Town Y is 29 miles.
The answer 25 hope it helps
