Question

I'm super bad at these :(

Answer 1

721.1 in/60.1 ft

Explanation:

Assuming that the ball travels in a straight line from the release point to the corner pin, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the bowling lane.

Let x be the length of the bowling lane in inches. Then we have:

x^2 = 40^2 + 720^2

x^2 = 1600 + 518400

x^2 = 520000

x = sqrt(520000)

x ≈ 721.1 inches

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the length of the bowling lane is approximately 721.1/12 = 60.1 feet.

Therefore, the length of the bowling lane is approximately 60.1 feet.

Answer 2

The length of the bowling lane is 718.9 in

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

The question is probably asking for the height of the triangle ( b ) so a is 40 in and c is 720 in : * use formula; c² - a² = b² *

720² - 40² = b²

518400 - 1600 = b²

516800 = b²

b =
`√(516800)`

b = 718.888030... in

( c is the hypotenuse and the length for that is already given, it's 720 in )
