Answer:
1.74700 kilometers
Step-by-step explanation:
What is the angle of elevation θ that is required for a hit ball to just clear the center field fence when it is hit 2 ft above the ground? Show all of your work and round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a degree.
Distance from Home plate to the center field fence: 425 ft
Height of the center field fence: 8 ft
____________________________
ANSWER:
The fence height = 8ft
The fence height takes 2 ft from the ground and doesn't count towards the angle.
Therefore subtract the difference = 8-2 = 6ft
The fence height from the 2ft to the fence top = 6ft
Angle of elevation (θ):
Tan(θ) = opposite/adjacent
Adjacent = Distance from Home plate to the center field fence = 425 ft
Opposite = 6ft
- Tan(θ) = 6/425
- Tan(θ) = 0.0141
- θ = arctan(0.0141)
- arctan = inverse of tangent = tan-¹
- θ = 0.8078°
- Angle of elevation (θ) = 0.81°
Consider the converses:
a) If two planes have no points in common, then they are parallel. (true)
b) If a point lies on the y-axis, then it has x-coordinate 0. (true)
c) If two angles have the same measure, then they are congruent. (true)
d) If a figure has four sides, then it is a square. (FALSE) (A figure with 4 sides may not even be a plane figure.)
<span>Simplifying
3x + -1y = 12
Solving
3x + -1y = 12
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add 'y' to each side of the equation.
3x + -1y + y = 12 + y
Combine like terms: -1y + y = 0
3x + 0 = 12 + y
3x = 12 + y
Divide each side by '3'.
x = 4 + 0.3333333333y
Simplifying
x = 4 + 0.3333333333y</span>
