Answer:

60 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be solved by setting up a proportion.

height of the pole/length of the pole's shadow = height of the mailbox/length of the mailbox's shadow

height of the pole = x

plugging in values

x/70 = 3/3.5   To solve, cross multiply

(3.5)(x) = (70)(3)  Simplify

3.5x = 210  Divide both sides by 3.5

3.5x/3.5 = 210/3.5

x = 60 ft is the height of the pole

A baseball player throws a ball from second base to home plate. How far does the player throw the ball?
Fynjy0 [20]

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 = \sqrt{90^2+90^2}= 127.27 \ ft

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.

Two sides of a triangle are given as 28 inches and 42 inches. find all possible lengths for the third side of the triangle
timofeeve [1]
The longest side of  a triangle must be less than the sum of the other 2 sides

2 senarios

the 3rd side is the longest
the 3rd side is not the longest



for the 3rd side is the longest

3rdside<28+42
3rdside<70


for 3rd side isn't the longest
42 is longest
42<28+3rdside
14<3rdside

so we've got
3rdside<70 and 14<3rdside

so
14<3rdside<70

the 3rd side can be any number from 14in to 70in except 14in and 70in
