Answer:
- Exact distance =
feet - Approximate distance = 127.2792 feet.
===========================================================
Explanation:
The area of the square is 8100 square feet, abbreviated ft^2.
Apply the square root to find the distance from any base to its adjacent counterpart (eg: from 1st to 2nd base). So we get sqrt(8100) = 90 ft as that side distance. Notice that 90*90 = 8100.
If you were to draw a line from 1st base to 3rd base, then you would split the square into two congruent right triangles. Each right triangle is isosceles (the two legs being 90 ft each).
Use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse.

The distance from 1st to 3rd base is roughly 127.2792 feet.
Answer:
x=69.41860973
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the law of sines
sin x sin 55
------------- = -----------
4 3.5
Using cross products
3.5 sin x = 4 sin 55
Divide each side by 3.5
sin x = 4/3.5 sin 55
Take the inverse sin of each side
x = sin ^-1 ( 4/3.5 sin 55)
x=69.41860973
The simple interest rate equation is I = Prt
I = interest
P = principle ($54,000)
r = rate (3.875%)
t = time (3 months, so .25 years)
I = Prt
I = (54,000)*(.03875)*(.25)
I = $523.125
