Answer:

  70.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle formed by home plate, first base, and second base is an isosceles right triangle with hypotenuse 100 ft. Then the side length (base-line distance between bases) is (100 ft)/√2 ≈ 70.7 ft.

___

For an isosceles right triangle with side lengths 1, the hypotenuse can be found from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...

  hypotenuse = √(side² + side²) = √(1²+1²) = √2

Then the diamond distances satisfy the proportion ...

  hypotenuse/side = 100 ft/(base distance) = √2/1

or ...

  base distance = (100 ft)/√2 ≈ 70.71068 ft

Damm [24]

Answer: Elaine=13 years old Tyler=21 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = Elaine's age, so her brother Tyler's age = x+8

 Elaine+Tyler=34

          x+(x+8)=34

             2x+8=34

                 2x=26

                   x=13

Elaine=13 years old

Tyler=21 years old

HELP ME FIND THE ANGLE<br><br><br><br><br> HELP ME FIND ANGLE A
romanna [79]

Answer:

32 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: So they tell you BE is congruent to BC so triangle BCE is isosceles. We know that angle C is 35 degrees and the triangle is isosceles so angle E is 35 degrees too. Now we do 180-(35+35) and that equals 110 so angle B is 110. And we know that angle EBC and FBA are supplementary angles so 180-110 is 70 degrees so angle FBA is 70 degrees and you can do the same thing with angle DFB and AFB so 180-102 degrees is 78 degrees and to find angle a you just do 180-(70+78) and that equals 32 degrees so angle A is 32 degrees. :)

What is the equation in point−slope form of the line passing through (0, 6) and (1, 3)?
Leya [2.2K]
(0,6)(1,3)
slope(m) = (3 - 6) / (1 - 0) = -3

y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -3
(1,3)...x1 = 1 and y1 = 3
now we sub
