Question

Use the Internet to identify a major league ballpark in which the distance from home plate to the center field fence and the height of the center field fence require that a ball hit 2 ft above the ground will necessitate an angle of elevation less than to just clear the center field fence. What website link(s) did you access and on what date did you access them?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 28.60 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a height of 2 feet above the ground and the angle of elevation of 86 degrees. 

Now, let's assume that the form of our problem is in the form of a right triangle, we can solve for the remaining angle as follows;

180 - (90+86) = 4 degrees

The distance from the home plate to the centerfield is been calculated below as

2/sin 4 = x / sin 86

solving for x we have

x = 28.60 feet

We have 28.60 feet as our answer
