Begin by subtracting 1/8 from both sides to get

and get a common denominator of 8 on the right:

. Now simplify and cross-multiply: 39x = -16 andx = -16/39
The answer is yes. I already answered this lol
The Pythagorean theorem is with right triangles. You know that a right triangle is formed from first to the mound to home-plate. So when you draw it out and label the sides you have one missing side. the Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = C^2. the c side is always the slanted side. In this case the c side would be from homeplate to first base. So you just have to solve now. (33)^2 + (50)^2 = c^2. So 1089 + 2500 = c^2. Add together and you get: 3589 = c^2. Lastly take the square-root of 3589 and that is the answer. 59.9. So the answer is 59.9 feet.

Explanation:
We want a number between 4 1/5 and 4.25. We will convert 4 1/5 to a decimal first:
Divide 1 by 5: 1/5 = 0.2.
This makes 4 1/5 = 4 + 1/5 = 4 + 0.2 = 4.2.
We want a number between 4.2, which can be written as 4.20, and 4.25. Any number between will do, so the possible answers would be
4.21, 4.22, 4.23, or 4.24.<u />
