Answer:

43.2in

Step-by-step explanation:

If the two people are equally proportional, then knowing the size of the waist of one of them, we gonna we be able to know the other's wais size, by the relation.

36in*(1*20%) = 36in*1.2 = 43.2in

<u>Answer:</u>

The taller person's waist size is 43.2 inches

<u>Solution:</u>

As given in the question, if 2 people are equal in proportion, then the taller person has 20% taller or larger waist than the smaller person in any given dimension. This means that, the taller person’s waist would be 120 % of the smaller person.

Hence, we multiply 1.2 (120%) with 36 inches (waist size of shorter person) which gives the waist size of the taller person as 43.2 inches.

36\times (1.2) = 43.2 inches.

If you need the geometry and trigonometry I'll post those.  Instead I found an answer at this link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6450/Class%20Projects/Scarpelli/Scarpelli_MathematicsBaseballActivity.....
The distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet and from home plate to second base is <span>127.28 feet.
Pitcher's Mound to 2nd base = </span><span> <span> <span> 66.78</span> </span>f</span>eet

Given those distances, we KNOW a 50 foot sprinkler will NOT reach home plate and second base from the pitcher's mound.

I didn't figure out the pitcher's mound to 1st or to 3rd, since the question is already answered.
