Answer:

127.3 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

A baseball diamond is constructed in a square shape.

The sides are 90 ft each

If a catcher throws a baseball to the shortstop who is half-way between second and third bases, the distance between the third base and the short stop = 1/2(90)

= 45 ft

length of the throw is found using Pythagoras theorem.

Hypothenus ^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent ^2

= 90^2 + 45^2

Hypothenus = √8100 + 2025

=√10125

= 100.62 ft (approximately)

Which of the following expressions is equal to 3x^2 + 27
Kisachek [45]
Factor: 
3x^2 + 27
= 3(x^2  + 9)
Answer is 3(x^2 + 9), when factored.


A) (3x + 9i)(x + 3i)
= (3x + 9i)(x + 3i)
= (3x)(x) + (3x)(3i) + (9i)(x) + (9i)(3i)
= 3x^2 + 9ix + 9ix + 27i^2
= 27i^2 + 18ix + 3x^2



B) (3x - 9i)(x + 3i)
= (3x +  - 9i)(x + 3i)
= (3x)(x) + (3x)(3i) + ( - 9i)(x) + (- 9i)(3i)
= 3x^2 + 9ix - 9ix - 27i^2
= 27i^2 + 3x^2


C) (3x - 6i)(x + 21i)
= (3x +  - 6i)(x + 21i)
= (3x)(x) + (3x)(21i) + (- 6i)(x) + ( -6i)(21i)
= 3x^2 + 63ix - 6ix - 126i^2
=  - 126i^2 + 57ix + 3x^2






D) (3x - 9i)(x - 3i)
=  (3x +   - 9)(x +  - 3)
= (3x)(x) + (3x)( - 3i) + (- 9)(x) + ( - 9)( - 3i)
= 3x^2 - 9ix - 9x + 27i
= 9ix + 3x^2 + 27i - 9x









Hope that helps!!!

A rectangular parking lot has an area of 2/3 of a square kilometer. The width is 1/2 of a kilometer. What is the length, in kilo
jeka57 [31]
Area = length x width
 replace the known information into the equation:

area = 2/3
width = 1/2

so now the formula looks like:

2/3  = 1/2 x L

to solve for L we divide both sides by 1/2

L = 2/3 / 1/2 which  = 2/3 * 2/1 = 4/3 = 1 and 1/3 km

A polynomial function upper P left parenthesis x right parenthesis with rational coefficients has the given roots. Find two addi
mylen [45]

Given that a polynomial function P(x) has rational coefficients.

Two roots are already given which are i and 7+8i,

Now we have to find two additional roots of P(x)=0

Given roots i and 7+8i are complex roots and we know that complex roots always occur in conjugate pairs so that means conjugate of given roots will also be the roots.

conjugate of a+bi is given by a-bi

So using that logic, conjugate of i is i

also conjugate of 7+8i is 7-8i

Hence final answer for the remaining roots are (-i) and (7-8i).
