Answer:

<h2>The distance from the pitcher's mound and to second base is 37.99 approximately.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The diamond is a square, which in this case has 50 feet long each side, and from home to pitcher is 38 feet. Notice that home is a vertex of the square and the pitcher's mound is the intersection of the diagonals, where they cut half.

We can find the distance from the pitcher to first base using Pythagorean's Theorem, where 50 feet is the hypothenuse.

50^{2} =38^{2}+x^{2}\\x^{2}=50^{2}-38^{2}\\x=\sqrt{2500-1444}\\ x=\sqrt{1056}\\ x \approx 32.5 \ ft

Therefore, the distance from the pitcher to first base is 32.5 feet, approximately.

Now, we can use again Pythagorean's Theorem to find the distance from pitcher to second base, where the hypothenuse is 50 feet.

50^{2}=32.5^{2}+y^{2}\\y^{2}=50^{2}-32.5^{2}\\y=\sqrt{2500-1056.25}\\ y =\sqrt{1443} \approx 37.99

Therefore, the distance from the pitcher's mound and to second base is 37.99 approximately.

<em>(this results make sense, because the diagonals of a square intersect at half, that means all bases have the same distance from pitcher's mound, so the second way to find the distance asked in the question is just using theory)</em>

Are O, N, and P collinear? If so, name the line on which they lie.
san4es73 [151]

We are given a figure where M, N , O and P points are given.

We need to explain if points O, N, and P collinear or not.

Note: All co-linear points are in a straight line.

From the figure, we can see that <em>O and N points are in a straight line but point P is aside.</em>

So, the points O, N, and P are not collinear.

Therefore, correct option is "<u>No, the three points are not collinear</u>".

Answer:

x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Find slope first

m-\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}

m=\frac{6-5}{7-7}

m=\frac{1}{0}\\

m is undefined- so it is a vertical line

x=7

Consider all numbers consisting of four different digits all between 1 and 9 . How many of these are odd
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

1680

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering repeatition is not allowed.

We can  use permutation to reach to the required answer.

Consider four digits to be placed in four boxes. Now for the number to be odd, unit digit must be odd. Therefore, unit digit can only be filled by 1, 3, 5,7, or 9. That is 5 ways. Now, other three boxes can be filled with 8, 7 and 6 ways respectively.

Therefore, Total numbers = 5×8×7×6 = 1680

Emilio and friends are in a submarine 500 feet below sea level. They continue to dive 35 feet each hour for 7 hours.
katovenus [111]
You would write the equation out as x=35x+500

You substitute x for 7 so it’s x= 35(7)+500

So the answer will be 745 dollars

One root of the quadratic equation x^2 − 2x + m = 0 is 9. If the other root is n, what is n−m?
mote1985 [20]
9^2-2*9+m=0\\&#10;\\&#10;81-18+m=0\\&#10;\\&#10;m=-63

x^{2} -2x-63=0\\&#10;\\&#10;\Delta=(-2)^2-4.1.(-63)=4+252=256\\&#10;\\&#10;x=\frac{2 \pm 16}{2}\\&#10;\\&#10;x_1=\frac{18}{2}=9\\&#10;\\&#10;n=x_2=\frac{-14}{2}=-7\\&#10;\\&#10;n-n=-7-(-63)=-7+63=56
