In this problem, we can imagine that all the points
connect to form a triangle. The three point or vertices are located on the
pitcher mount, the home plate and where the outfielder catches the ball. So in
this case we are given two sides of the triangle and the angle in between the
two sides.
<span>With the following conditions, we can use the cosine law
to solve for the unknown 3rd side. The formula is:</span>
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2 a b cos θ
Where,
a = 60.5 ft
b = 195 ft
θ = 32°
Substituting the given values:
c^2 = (60.5)^2 + (195)^2 – 2 (60.5) (195) cos 32
c^2 = 3660.25 + 38025 – 20009.7
c^2 = 21,675.56
c = 147.23 ft
<span>Therefore the outfielder throws the ball at a distance of
147.23 ft towards the home plate.</span>
Divide miles by 60 to convert it to miles per minute because there are 60 minutes in an hour.
His overall net profit would be $500 dollars because every two weeks he makes $500 so over 4 weeks he would make $1000, but lose $500 to rent.
Answer:
the answer is 18 feet because that line in the middle of the triangle is half the size of AC
