    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    Distance before the hurdle = 2.2 m

    Distance after the hurdle = 1 m

    Strides per hurdle = 3

    Distance between hurdles = 35 m

    Total Distance of flight in a hurdle = Distance before the hurdle + Distance after the hurdle

    = 2.2 + 1

    = 3.2 m

    Distance in a hurdle = distance between hurdles - Total Distance of flight in a hurdle

    = 35 - 3.2

    = 31.8 m

    Distance per stride = distance in a hurdle/number of stride

    = 31.8/3

    = 10.6 m per stride.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Firstly, you have to know that

    There are 10 equally-spaced hurdles on a race track. The first hurdle is 13.72 meters from the start line. The final hurdle is 14.02 meters from the finish line. The race track is 110 meters long

    If total length is 110m

    First hurdle and last hurdle is 13.72+14.02=27.74m

    So the hurdles is evenly distributed at 110-27.74=82.26m

    And there are 10 hurdles which will occupy 9 spaces distance

    So each hurdle are places

    82.26/9=9.14m

    So each hurdle is at a distance of 9.14m.

    Now, the runner takes 3 strides between each hurdle and he leaves the ground 2.2 m before the hurdle and 1m after the hurdle, this show that, the total distance of hurdle minus the distance in air is what he travelled,

    Then, distance travelled is

    Hurdle distance - distance in air

    9.14-3.2=5.94m

    So he took 3 strides

    Then, each stride is 5.94/3=1.98m

    So, the runner each stride is 1.98m
