You got dragged along to see a band that you have never heard of with your one crazy friend. Once you get to the venue you walk around to kill some time before the first band plays. You notice a few odd things like a large red “X” on the floor and a red line going to the wall that has a measurement of 6 yards. Then you follow that line up the wall to see the measurement of the height of the wall to be 4.5 yards. Right then you hear the first band to start to play their set. Next thing you know you have the microphone singing to your favorite songs and you are on top of the balcony. You think to yourself how long is the cord of the microphone from the red “X” to me to continue on singing to your favorite songs. If I want to make it to that red “X” what would be the total length of the jump that I would need to make to get to there. Find your missing length and tell us what happened the rest of that crazy night.
