Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. The types of triangles are scalene triangle, equilateral triangle, right angled triangle and obtuse triangle.

Trigonometric functions are used to show the relationship between the angles of a triangles and the sides of the triangle. For a right angled triangle, the ratio of the sides can be gotten using trigonometric functions such as:

cosθ = adjacent/hypotenuse, sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse, tanθ = opposite/adjacent

Given the right angle triangle:

cos(A) = adjacent / hypotenuse = 3 / 4.24

cos(A) = 3 / 4.25

cos(B) = adjacent / hypotenuse = 3 / 4.24

cos(B) = 3 / 4.24

cos(A) / cos(B) = (3 / 4.24) ÷ (3 / 4.24) = 1

cos(A) / cos(B) = 1

The distance between each base on a field is 90 ft. How far does a catcher have to throw the ball from home plate to second base

Gnoma [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

A baseball field is in the shape of a square (or diamond). Home plate and second base are opposite corners of each other. So the distance is equal to the diagonal of the square.

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal, or use properties of a 45-45-90 triangle.

Using Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

c² = (90 ft)² + (90 ft)²

c = 90√2 ft

c ≈ 127 ft
