The magnitude of the boats resultant vector is 314.1 mi

<h3>What is a vector?</h3>

A vector is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction.

<h3>What is a resultant vector?</h3>

A resultant vector is the sum of two or more vectors.

<h3>How to find the boats resultant vector?</h3>

Since the boat sails 285 miles south and then 132 miles west, we have that its first direction vector is r = (285 mi)j. Also, its direction vector west is r' = -(132 mi)i

So, the resultant vector R = r + r'

=  (285 mi)j + (132 mi)i

=  (132 mi)i + (285 mi)j

So, the magnitude of the resultant vector is R = √(r² + r'²)

So, substituting thevalues of the variables into the equation, we have

R = √(r² + r'²)

R = √((285 mi)² + (132 mi)²)

R = √(81225 mi² + 17424 mi²)

R = √(98649 mi²)

R = 314.08 mi

R ≅ 314.1 mi

So, the resultant vector is 314.1 mi

A major baseball diamond is a square with side lengths of 90 feet.
iren2701 [21]

Answer: \bold{a)\quad 90\sqrt2\qquad \qquad b)\quad 45\sqrt2}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Since you are looking for the distance from home plate to second base, you are actually looking for the length of the diagonal of the square.  Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² where a and b are the side lengths and c is the length of the diagonal.

90^2+90^2=c^2\\8100+8100=c^2\\16200=c^2\\\sqrt{16200}=c\\\boxed{90\sqrt2}=c\qquad \qquad \text{which is approximately 127.28}\\\\\\\\\text{Halfway between home plate and 2nd base means divide that length by 2:}\\\\\dfrac{90\sqrt2}{2}=\boxed{45\sqrt2}
