The bases of a softball field are 60 feet apart. How far apart is home plate from second base?

So assuming that the field is a perfect square then

if you mean when you walk from home to 1st to 2nd then
60+60=120

if you mean the straight distance (as the crow flies) then
second base is diagonal from home base so

we have a right triangle with side legnths of 60 and 60

use pythagrorean theorem
a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are legs and c=hypotonuse
60^2+60^2=c^2
3600+3600=c^2
7200=c^2
square root both sides
60 times√2=c

the distance from home base to second base=60√2

For which rational expression is –2 an excluded value of x?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

option a is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

put the value of x in each expression as x = -2

you'll see that in option a the expression becomes

\frac{x - 3}{ {x}^{2}  - 4}   =   \frac{ - 2 - 3}{ {( - 2)}^{2}  - 4}  \\  =  \frac{ - 5}{4 - 4} \\  =   \frac{ - 5}{0}

which is not defined. hence -2 is excluded value

A postage stamp is shaped like a rectangle with a perimeter of 88 millimeters. The length (x) is 10 millimeters less than twice
RoseWind [281]
Length = x, width = y

x = 2y - 10....so sub in 2y - 10 for y back in the other equation

2x + 2y = 88
2(2y - 10) + 2y = 88
4y - 20 + 2y = 88
4y + 2y = 88 + 20
6y = 108
y = 108/6
y = 18

x = 2y - 10
x = 2(18) - 10
x = 36 - 10
x = 26

so the length (x) is 26 mm and the width (y) is 18 mm

The width of the stamp is 8 mm less then the length (26 - 18 = 8)

The total of a regular polygon's interior angles is 3420°.
DanielleElmas [232]

Step-by-step explanation:

(n-2)×180=3420

180n-360=3420

180n=3420+360

180n=3780

n=3780/180

n=21

that is, the number of sides is 21

to get the size of each exterior angle=

360/21

=17.14°
