3 0

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total Number of scorings (both Teams) = 18

Let :

x = number of 5 point score ; y = number of 2 point score

Total points scored = 34 + 29 = 63

x + y = 18 - - - (1)

5x + 2y = 63 - - (2)

From (1)

y = 18 - x

In (2) ; we have ;

5x + 2(18 - x) = 63

5x + 36 - 2x = 63

3x + 36 = 63

3x = 63 - 36

3x = 27

x = 9

9 5-point plays

Law of Sines

\frac{sin(A)}{a} =  \frac{sin(B)}{b}

\frac{sin(90)}{14.6} =  \frac{sin(45)}{x}

Cross multiply

x*sin(90) = 14.6sin(45)

x = 14.6sin(45)

x = <span>10.3</span>
