The area of the rectangle is 108 square centimeters.

Given Information

The following information has been given in the question,

Length of the diagonal of the rectangle, l = 15 cm

Length of one of the sides of the rectangle, a = 9 cm

Let the other side of the rectangle be b.

Finding the Other Side of the Rectangle

According to Pythagoras Theorem,

(hypotenuse)² = (base)² + (perpendicular)²

Applying this theorem in the right-angle triangle formed by the diagonal and 9cm side of the rectangle, we get,

l² = a² + b²  [∵ The diagonal makes the hypotenuse]

(15)² = (9)² + b²

b² = (15)² - (9)²

b² = 225 - 81

b² = 144

b = √144

b = 12 cm

Calculating the Area of the Rectangle

Area of the rectangle, A = a × b

A = 9 × 12

A = 108 cm²

A baseball is hit with an initial upward velocity of 70 feet per second from a height of 4 feet above the ground. The equation h
Katyanochek1 [597]
To solve you need to set the equation equal to 6 (the height at which the player caught the ball.

6 = -16t^2 + 70t + 4

Next put the equation in standard form by subtracting 6 from both sides

-16t^2 + 70t - 2 = 0

This equation can be simplified by dividing by 2

-8t^2 + 35t - 1 = 0

This equation cannot be factored, but we can use the quadratic formula to find a value for x. Using the equation above we can find the values for a=-8, b = 35 and c = -1.

using the quadratic formula we can solve for x

-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)
-------------------------------
       2a

The solutions are

0.03 and 4.35. as 0.03 seems an unrealistic time to hit and catch a baseball we would expect the time to be 4.35 seconds.
