Answer:
x equals 3.00cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagoras' Theorem.
a = (14x-45)
b = (16x+27)
c = (25x)
Plug in the variables above into Pythagoras' Theorem that is, a^2+b^2=c^2.
Solve the resulting quadratic equation and reject the negative answer as length is always positive.
$0.50 is the answer. If the bat is $1.00 more than the baseball, you would subtract that from the total cost which is $1.50 so the answer would be $0.50.
