Last season a baseball play hit 48 home runs. So far this season he has hit 30 home runs. The number of home runs he has hit so
1 answer:
Answer:
The home runs hit this season is <u>62.5%</u> of the home runs hit last season.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Runs hit last season = 48
Runs hit this season so far = 30
So, in order to find the percentage of home runs hit this season so far compared to the last season, we need to divide the home runs hit this season by that of the last season and then express the result as a percentage by multiplying the fraction with 100.
Therefore,
Percentage of home runs scored this season is given as:
Therefore, the home runs hit this season is 62.5% of the home runs hit last season.

Step-by-step explanation:
Okay, so attached is a diagram of the triangle we are solving. Because buildings are almost always perpendicular (90 degrees) to the ground, it is a right triangle.
You can now use the pythagorean theorem with the sides to fill in the other side:
a^2+ b^2= c^2
5^2 + b^2= 22^2
25+b^2=484
b^2= 459
b=21.42
Okay, so for slope you need 2 points- think of the wall as your y axis, and the ground as your x axis. The ladder is the line.
Your first point is (-5,0) because the bottom of the ladder is touching the ground (no y movement) and the bottom of the ladder is 5 feet from the base of the wall and ground (origin).
The second point is going to be (0, 21.42) because that is the height of the wall where the ladder is touching (x is at origin). The 21.42 is positive, because you can't have negative height.
Okay so far? :)
(-5,0) and (0, 21.42)
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
slope= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope= (21.42-0)/ (0-(-5)) ---- becomes positive
slope= 4.284
(Note: slope could also be negative if you put the ladder on the other side of the wall- 5 would become positive... google "positive vs negative slopes" for more info)
Hopefully that answers your question!
