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
Answer:
x = 147/5 and y = 78
Step-by-step explanation:
First solve by substitution and put 78 into y in -5x + 2y = 9 so you get 147/5
then plug 147/5 into x and find y
i believe this is it, ik it’s long but use this
Acres of planted corn = (2/7) * (4/5)
= (2/7) * .8 = 1.6 / 7 acres = 0.2285714286 acres
