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.

Dan buys a car for £2200.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

The worth of the car after 6 years is £2,134.82

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount at which Dan buys the car, PV = £2200

The rate at which the car depreciates, r = -0.5%

The car's worth, 'FV', in 6 years is given as follows;

FV = PV \cdot \left ( 1 + \dfrac{r}{100} \right )^n

Where;

r = The depreciation rate (negative) = -0.5%

FV = The future value of the asset

PV = The present value pf the asset = £2200

n = The number of years (depreciating) = 6

By plugging in the values, we get;

FV = 2200 \times \left ( 1 + \dfrac{-0.5}{100} \right )^6 \approx 2,134.82

The amount the car will be worth which is its future value, FV after 6 years is FV ≈ £2,134.82 (after rounding to the nearest penny (hundredth))

If a certain brand of icecream is 99% fat free, how many cups would you have to eat to ingest the same amount of fat that would
sdas [7]

Answer:

<em>10,000 cups </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct proportional quantities are such that their quotients are always the same number. Example: If I need one cup of sugar to prepare 5 candies, I will need 2 cups of sugar to prepare 10 candies. The quotient 5/1 is equal to the quotient 10/2

Let's suppose a cup of regular ice cream would have 100 parts of fat.

The brand of ice cream mentioned in the question is 99% fat-free which means for every cup of their ice cream, we'll only get 1 part of fat. The relation is 100/1.

If we wanted 100 parts of fat out of fat-free ice cream we would need 100*100/1=10,000 cups of it

These numbers won't change if we used another number instead of 100 in the example shown.
