Question

stride length is the distance between the initial contact points of the same foot when taking two steps, one with each foot. a persons right step length is 1.25 feet and their left step length is also 1.25 feet. using the persons stride length, determine the length of one of the hallways at your school. if it takes you 10.5 strides to walk the entire hallway, what is the length of the hallway? fill in each blank with the most appropriate answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate stride length

Stride length = right step + left step = $1.25 + 1.25 = 2.5$ feet

Step2: Calculate hallway length

Hallway length = stride length × number of strides = $2.5 \times 10.5$

Answer:

13.125 feet
