What do we know about those two lines?
They are perpendicular, meaning they have the same slope.
We know the slope of both is not zero (neither is vertical).
Therefore either
1) Both slopes are positive and therefore the product is positive
2) Both slopes are negative and therefore the product is positive (minus by a minus is a plus)
For the y intercepts, we know that the line P passes through the origin.
Therefore its Y intercept is zero.
[draw it if this is not obvious and ask where does it cross the y axis]
Therefore the Y intercept of line K and line P is zero.
[anything multiplied by a zero is a zero]
So we know that the product of slopes is positive, and we know that the product of Y intercepts is zero.
So the product of slopes must be greater.
Answer A
The distributive property
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
Actually I think it may be C
