Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The player throws 127.3 ft from second base to home plate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Distance from home to first base = 90 ft
Distance from first base to second base = 90 ft
We need to find the distance from second base to home.
Solution:
Now we can assume the complete scenario to be formed as a right angled triangle with two sides given and to find the third side.
Now by using Pythagoras theorem which states that;
Square of the hypotenuse side is equal to sum of squares of other two sides.
framing in equation form we get;
distance from second base to home = 
Rounding to nearest tent we get;
distance from second base to home = 127.3 ft
Hence The player throws 127.3 ft from second base to home plate.
The 2 angles add up to 90 degrees so
x + y = 90, also:-
x - y = 72 (given)
adding the 2 equations:-
2x = 162
x = 81
and therefore
y + 81 = 90
y = 9
Answer the 2 angles are 81 and 9 degrees
