A baseball diamond is a square with 90 foot sides. If the catcher is standing on home plate, what is the approximate distance to throw out a player headed to second base?


help!!

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:  approximately 127.3 feet

============================================================

Explanation:

Draw a straight line from home plate to second base. Two right triangles form. Each triangle has both legs equal to 90 ft. The hypotenuse is what we're after. We'll use the pythagorean theorem to find it.

[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{90^2 + 90^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{16200}\\\\c \approx 127.27922\\\\c \approx \boldsymbol{127.3}\\\\[/tex]

It's approximately 127.3 feet from home plate to second base. This is a straight line distance. Any curved path the ball takes will travel a slightly longer distance; however, we only consider the straight line distance for the sake of simplicity.

We can add 5+3 giving us 8

Let's make it 8x=144

Solve for x

Divide 8x by 8 = 1x

144 ÷ 8 = 18

Now since we're looking for the adults we multiply by 5

Which is the function represented by the table?

Answers

Answer:

its the first one on the list bc when x is 0 you get f(x) = 1 and thats the only fjnction that does that with all of them.

Answer:

f(x) = - 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a linear function in slope- intercept form is

f(x) = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 1, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 3) ← 2 ordered pairs from the table

m = [tex]\frac{-3-3}{2-(-1)}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6}{2+1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6}{3}[/tex] = - 2

The function crosses the y- axis at (0, 1 ) ⇒ c = 1

f(x) = - 2x + 1

-a/6 + 7 = -14 I want to know how to do this

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

so, if you did not make a typo the problem is

-a/6 + 7 = -14

and I guess, you need to find the value of a to make this equation true. right ?

you know that you can do additional operations on the equation ?

the rule is, whatever you change on one side of the equation you have to change also on the other side (otherwise we would destroy the original equation, where the left side must be equal to the right side).

so, a good idea to start is to try and separate the terms with the variable and the constants.

so, let's subtract 7 from both sides :

-a/6 = -14 - 7 = -21

next, the fraction is disturbing. let's dissolve it by multiplying both sides by 6 :

-a = -21×6 = -126

both sides are negative expressions. that is not nice either. let's multiply both sides by -1

a = 126

and we have our result ! bingo !

if the sum of two consecutive odd number is 12 find them​

Answers

Answer:

5 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Fast and loose: 12 is written as a sum of two odd numbers as 1+11; 3+9; 5+7. The only consecutive pair is 5 and 7

Let's use algebra: let's call 2n+1 the first and 2n+3 the second.

Their sum is 2n+1 +2n+3 = 4n+4 = 12. Thus, n+1=3 and n= 2. It means the 2 numbers are 2x2+1 =5 and 2x2+3 =7

To find the sum of interior angles in a polygon, we can use the formula:

[tex]180(n-2)[/tex] where n is the number of sides.

Since this is pentagon (5 sides), then [tex]180(5-2)=180*3=540[/tex]

The missing angle would then be

[tex]540-97-111-104-115=113[/tex]

Since angles on a straight line add up to 180, then

[tex]x+113=180[/tex]
