Answer:
There are no errors
Step-by-step explanation:
The math is correct
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
1/3 (0.333,,,) is 0.05666... away from 0.39 .
2/5 (0.4) is 0.01 away .
3.8 (0.375) is 0.015 away .
9/25 (0.36) is 0.3 away .
2/5 is the closest one.
