Question

how can the distance formula help athletes?
a. by selecting their sportswear
b. by choosing their diet
c. by determining their sleep schedule
d. by tracking their running distances

Explanation:

The distance formula in mathematics calculates the distance between two points. For athletes, this translates to quantifying the distance they run (e.g., mapping start/end points of a route to find total distance), which aligns with option d. The other options (sportswear selection, diet, sleep scheduling) have no connection to the distance formula's core function of measuring spatial distance.

Answer:

d. By tracking their running distances
