To find out how far the competitor took the last leap, we can subtract the sum of the first and second leaps from the total length of his jump.
Total distance = last leap + first leap + second leap
16.37 m = last leap + 6.90 m + 5.65 m
Now, subtract the sum of the first and second leaps from the total distance to find the last leap:
Last leap = 16.37 m - 6.90 m - 5.65 m
Last leap = 3.82 m
Therefore, the competitor took a leap of 3.82 m for his last jump.
During a triple jump, a competitor clears 6.90 m to his or her
bono first and bono of 5.65 m to the second. The total length of
his jump is 16.37 m. ¿How far did he take the last leap?
