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

What is the volume of the prism
satela [25.4K]

Answer: 336cm^3

Step-by-step explanation: First of all. We can combine the two different 4's to make this one shape so it is easier to calculate. We know to get volume it is l * w * h=v. So we just plug in the values. We have 8*3*14. Now just multiply. 8*3*14 = 336

What is the total cost if the shirt cost $40 and 20% off
Eddi Din [679]
You'd simply have to find 20% of $40. To find the percent of a number, you would change the percent into an actual decimal/number, and then multiply them both. So the percent would become 0.20.

40 × 0.20 = 8

So now you would subtract 8 from the cost of 40.

 40 - 8 = 32.

The shirt costs $32.

A surveyor is measuring the distance across a canyon. He sets up two similar right triangles and finds that the length of CD = 1
Citrus2011 [14]

The length side AB is 64 ft , Option D is the correct answer.

<h3>What is a Right triangle ?</h3>

A triangle that has one angle 90 degree is called Right angled Triangle.

From the figure it can be seen that

The triangle CDE is a right Triangle

Applying Pythagoras theorem to find the length of CE

CE² = 12² + 16²

CE = 20 ft

As both the triangles are similar therefore the ratio of the sides will be equal

BC : CD = AC : CE

48 / 12 = AC / 20

AC = 80ft

As Triangle ABC is also a right angled triangle

Applying Pythagoras theorem to find the length of AB

AC² = BC² +AB²

6400 = 48² +AB²

AB² = 4096

AB = 64 ft

Therefore Option D is the correct answer.
