3/4 = 0.75
1/2 = 0.5
Area = l * w
100.75 * 75.5 = 7,606.625
Answer = 7,606.625 ft
Answer:
x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x = 2 - sqrt(5)
Step-by-step explanation using the quadratic formula:
Solve for x over the real numbers:
7 (x^2 - 4 x - 1) = 0
Divide both sides by 7:
x^2 - 4 x - 1 = 0
Add 1 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x = 1
Add 4 to both sides:
x^2 - 4 x + 4 = 5
Write the left hand side as a square:
(x - 2)^2 = 5
Take the square root of both sides:
x - 2 = sqrt(5) or x - 2 = -sqrt(5)
Add 2 to both sides:
x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x - 2 = -sqrt(5)
Add 2 to both sides:
Answer: x = 2 + sqrt(5) or x = 2 - sqrt(5)
If you need the geometry and trigonometry I'll post those. Instead I found an answer at this link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6450/Class%20Projects/Scarpelli/Scarpelli_MathematicsBaseballActivity.....
The distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet and from home plate to second base is <span>127.28 feet.
Pitcher's Mound to 2nd base = </span><span>
<span>
<span>
66.78</span> </span>f</span>eet
Given those distances, we KNOW a 50 foot sprinkler will NOT reach home plate and second base from the pitcher's mound.
I didn't figure out the pitcher's mound to 1st or to 3rd, since the question is already answered.
