You threw the baseball 40 feet.

This can be represented as two right triangles.  The legs of your friend's triangle, the forward distance and distance right, are 15 and 20.  Using the Pythagorean theorem, we find the diagonal distance from your friend's starting point:

20²+15²=c²
400+225=c²
625=c²

Take the square root of both sides:
√625=√(c²)
25=c

The legs of your right triangle are 12, your distance forward, and 9, your distance right:
12²+9²=c²
144+81=c²
225=c²

Take the square root of both sides:
√225=√(c²)
15=c

The total diagonal distance is 25+15=40 feet.

To find this answer it is best to draw it out. Please see the attached picture. You will end up needing to find it 2 hypotenuse. I have shown how to find the hypotenuse using the Pythagorean theorem. You add these together to find the distance the baseball is thrown. The answer is 40 feet.

True or False!!!! The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is twice the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.
lozanna [386]

answer : False

The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is one - half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

The diagram is attached below

AB  and BC are the two tangents

By exterior angle theorem

 ∠3 = ∠2 + ∠4

So   ∠2 = ∠3 - ∠4

Now we find angle 3  and 4, we know when a chord and tangent intersect at a point then the measure of angle is one half of measure of intercepted arc

∠3 = \frac{1}{2} * arc(ADC)

∠4 = \frac{1}{2} * arc(AC)

 ∠2 = ∠3 - ∠4

 ∠2 = \frac{1}{2} * arc(ADC)  -  \frac{1}{2} * arc(AC)

∠2 = \frac{1}{2} ( arc(ADC) - arc(AC))

The measure of a tangent-tangent angle is one half the difference of the measures of the intercepted arcs.

Today, both the soccer team and the basket ball team had games (starting on Monday). The soccer team plays every 3 days and the

I think eight because if you add those days together they will play again in eight days so that they play on the same day.

Sorry if I got it wrong I tried and that's what counts, right?

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation 4x2 = 64?
Karolina [17]
<h2>Greetings!</h2>

Answer:

x = −4 and x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x² = 64

Lets get x² on its own. To do this we divide each sides by 4:

x² = 16

Now to get just x, we need to square root this answer:

√x² = √16

x = √16

x = 4

But this can be ±4 as it -4 and 4 squared both give 16.

So your answer is x = −4 and x = 4
