Answer:
The player throws 127.3 ft from second base to home plate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Distance from home to first base = 90 ft
Distance from first base to second base = 90 ft
We need to find the distance from second base to home.
Solution:
Now we can assume the complete scenario to be formed as a right angled triangle with two sides given and to find the third side.
Now by using Pythagoras theorem which states that;
Square of the hypotenuse side is equal to sum of squares of other two sides.
framing in equation form we get;
distance from second base to home =
Rounding to nearest tent we get;
distance from second base to home = 127.3 ft
Hence The player throws 127.3 ft from second base to home plate.
Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Triangle A is attached in the image below.
The base of triangle A is 3 units and its height is 3 units. The area of a triangle is given as:
Area = (1/2) × base × height
Area of triangle A = (1/2) × base × height = (1/2) × 3 × 3 = 4.5 unit²
Area of the scaled copy = 72 unit²
Ratio of area = Area of the scaled copy / Area of triangle A = 72 unit² / 4.5 unit² = 16
Hence the scaled copy area is 16 times larger than that of triangle A.
b) For the scaled copy:
Area of the scaled copy = (1/2) × base × height = 72 unit²
base × height = 144
Since the base and height are equal
base² = 144
base = 12, also height = 12
Base of scaled copy = 12 = 4 × base of triangle A
Therefore the scale factor used is 4
