Math Prompt:
EXPLAIN WAYS THAT MATH IS USED IN THE WINTER OLYMPICS

Answer 1

Answer:

calculus, geometry, arithmetic among a few

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematics is involved in winter Olympics in different aspects like arithmetic which helps in scores, measurements, quantities and motion  of the sport  like hockey, running.

Scoring in ice skating involves arithmetic operation when an individual element is assigned points and  judged on performance level( triple axle is 3 points but overall performance and artistry is measured by the judges).  

Another is Calculus  which helps to understand the change in acceleration and velocities while each skaters start at zero then win, Lines in Geometry such as the finish/start/sight lines helps players with angles of reflection, measuring angles and angles of incidence.
