6. A marching band routine requires a tuba player to begin at the 50 yard line of a
football field and march perpendicular to the 40 yard line. He then makes a 30 degree
turn and marches at a diagonal back to the 50 yard line. Once he reaches the 50 yard line,
he must march forward until he reaches his original starting position. If the tuba player
travels 18 inches with each marching pace, how many paces must he take to complete the
routine?

Respuesta :

The answer is [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex]

According to the question,

The marching band begin at the 50 yard line a football field and march perpendicular to the 40 yard line.

hence,

So when the tuba players travels 18 inches with each marching pace , the paces are:

[tex]\frac{50+30+40}{18} = \frac{20}{3}[/tex]

So , the answer is [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex] paces.

Here, Distance divided by speed equal steps.
