Suppose Austin, Texas, is hit by a tornado that destroys 25 percent of the housing in the area. Would you expect the total expen

notsponge [240]

Answer:

greater than what it was before

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, a tornado usually causes significant structural damages to houses within its area of impact., and this requires running expenses to repair the damage.

Hence, since the term expenditure, also implies expenses; we can expect the total expenditure on housing after the tornado to be greater than what it was before the tornado since families would be paying for repairs.

If the area of a baseball diamond (shape of a square) is 8100 ft squared, how would you find the distance from 1st base to 3rd b

Answer:

Exact distance = $90\sqrt{2}$ 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.

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{90^2+90^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{2*90^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{2}*\sqrt{90^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{2}*90\\\\c = 90\sqrt{2} \ \text{ ... exact distance}\\\\c \approx 127.2792 \ \text{ ... approximate distance}\\\\$
