Answer:
25 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Applying Pythagoras' Theorem,
(BD)^2= (CD)^2 + (BC)^2
(BC)^2= 65^2 - 60^2
(BC)^2= 625
BC= √625= 25
Easier than it looks, all you have to do is first subtract 13 from 299. You should get 286. Then, you just divide this number by two to get 143. Finally, since it asks for ZENA'S average, you add the 13 back to 143 to get the final answer of the average number of pins Zena took down, which is 156!

Answer:
1.4 times k
Step-by-step explanation:
If k feet is the distance from home plate to third base, and the distance from first base to third base is 1.4 times the previous value, then
distance from first base to third base = 1.4 * k or 1.4 times k
If, for example, k=90 feet, then from first to third base there are
1.4*90=126 feet
I'll do the first two problems to get you started. All problems shown will use the same formula.
===========================================
Problem 4
The formula to use is
C = 100*(B-A)/A
where
A = old value
B = new value
C = percent change
In this case, A = 12 and B = 36, so
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(36-12)/12
C = 100*(24/12)
C = 100*2
C = 200%
We have a 200% increase. It is an increase because the value of C is positive.
===========================================
Problem 5
Use the same formula as in the previous problem. This time,
A = 75 is the old value
B = 25 is the new value
C = 100*(B-A)/A
C = 100*(25-75)/75
C = 100*(-50/75)
C = 100*(-2/3)
C = -66.6667%
C = -66.7%
The value of C is negative, so we have a percent decrease of roughly 66.7%
