Answer - Width 23

Length - 26

W = Width

L + 3 = Length

Perimeter = 2L = 2W

98 = 2(W + 3) + 2W

98 = 2W + 6 + 2W

98 = 4W + 6

92 = 4W

W = 92/4

W = 23

Width is 23 inches

Length is 3 more -- 23 + 3 = 26

We can double check our work:

26 + 26 + 23 + 23 = 98 Inches

Best of luck,

A baseball is hit into the air, and its height h in feet after t seconds is given by h(t)= -16t^2+128t+2. The height of the bas

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\sf \ \text{2 feet, 4 seconds, 258 feet } \ }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello,

To know the height of the baseball when it is hit we have to compute h(0), as t = 0 is when the baseball is hit into the air.

$h(0)=-16\cdot 0^2+128 \cdot 0+2=2$

So, the answer is 2 feet.

h(x) is a parabola which can be written as $ax^2+bx+c$ , it means that the vertex is the point (-b/2a,h(-b/2a)).

The baseball reached its maximum height after

$\dfrac{-b}{2a}=\dfrac{-128}{-2*16}=\boxed{4 \text{ seconds}}$

And the maximum height of the baseball is h(4).

$h(0)=-16\cdot 4^2+128 \cdot 4+2=-256+512+2=\boxed{258 \ \text{feet}}$

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.

Thank you

The Greek mathematician Eratosthenes (ca. 276-195 BC) measured the circumference of the earthfrom the following observations. He

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Radius of the Earth is 3978.8 Miles

Circumference of the Earth is 25000 Miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle of the sun shone at an angle of 7.2° to the zenith

This means that the angle of the sector of the circle is 7.2° (θ)

S = Length of the sector of the circle = 500 miles

r = radius of earth

Converting 7.2° to radians

$\theta =7.2\frac{\pi}{180}$

$S=r\theta\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{S}{\theta}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{500}{7.2\frac{\pi}{180}}\\\Rightarrow r=3978.8\ Miles$

∴ Radius of the Earth is 3978.8 Miles

$C=2\pi r\\\Rightarrow C=2\times \pi \frac{500}{7.2\frac{\pi}{180}}\\\Rightarrow C=25000\ Miles$

∴ Circumference of the Earth is 25000 Miles
