Hey there!
In order to solve this problem, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is
. Since the Pythagorean Theorem would find only half of the length of x, we'll need to double it in the end.
First, let's plug in what we know to the Pythagorean Theorem: 
Next, we'll simplify to that
is by itself:

Then, we'll find the square root of 2.45, multiply that by 2 and round to the nearest tenth:

Therefore, x = 3.1 ft.
How to round to the nearest tenth:
In a decimal, the tenth is the first number after the decimal point. To round to the tenth, if the number in the hundredth place is less than 5, you keep the number as it is, but if the number in the hundredth place is more than 5, you increase the number in the tenth place by 1.
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
x=1
Step-by-step explanation:
By factoring, you'll compress the equation to (x-1)^2=0
Next take out the square: x-1=0
Now subtract one to the other side to get x! x=1
Hope this helps! :)
N = no solution
-4 ( 6 - 2n ) = 30 + 8n
-24 + 8n = 30 + 8n
Subtract 8n from both sides
-24 = 30
This is invalid therefore no solution
Let's use the variable r to represent ricky's base hits:
Ricky is r
Pedro is r + 276
So:
r + r + 276 = 2676
2r = 2400
r= 1200
Ricky hit 1200 base hits, and Pedro hit 1476 base hits.
