Answer:
70.7 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle formed by home plate, first base, and second base is an isosceles right triangle with hypotenuse 100 ft. Then the side length (base-line distance between bases) is (100 ft)/√2 ≈ 70.7 ft.
___
For an isosceles right triangle with side lengths 1, the hypotenuse can be found from the Pythagorean theorem to be ...
hypotenuse = √(side² + side²) = √(1²+1²) = √2
Then the diamond distances satisfy the proportion ...
hypotenuse/side = 100 ft/(base distance) = √2/1
or ...
base distance = (100 ft)/√2 ≈ 70.71068 ft
From left to right it’s 1, 49, 9, 70
Answer: Choice A, -1540 feet
----------------------------------
Explanation:
Multiply the rate (44 ft per sec) by the number of seconds (35) to get 44*35 = 1540
The answer will be negative to indicate that the altitude has gone down. If you put in a positive change, then the altitude would go up. So that's why the answer is choice A
Note: when you multiply 44 ft/sec by 35 sec, the "second" units cancel out leaving just feet.
Another note: if you want, think of the 44 as -44 to indicate that the plane is decreasing at a rate of 44 ft/sec
Answer:
Decrease by 3.9%
Step-by-step explanation:
54,500(1-x) = 52355
x=0.03935... = 3.935% or 3.9%
