Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isosceles triange, so that would mean the two angles on the base would be the same. So the other angle would also be 50 degrees

To find x:

x=180-50+50 (sum of the angles in a triangle is 180)

x= 180-100

x=80

Answer:

$125.4\ \text{m/s}$

Step-by-step explanation:

u = Initial velocity of baseball

$\theta$ = Angle of hit = $30^{\circ}$

x = Displacement in x direction = 400 ft

y = Displacement in y direction = 15 ft

$y_0$ = Height of hit = 2.5 ft

$a_y$ = g = Acceleration due to gravity = $32.2\ \text{ft/s}^2$

t = Time taken

Displacement in x direction

$x=u_xt\\\Rightarrow x=u\cos\theta t\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{x}{u\cos\theta}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\cos30^{\circ}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{400}{u\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}}$

Displacement in y direction

$y=y_0+u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow y=y_0+u\sin\theta t+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow 15=2.5+u\sin30^{\circ}(\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})+\dfrac{1}{2}\times -32.2\times (\dfrac{800}{u\sqrt{3}})^2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{400}{\sqrt{3}}-\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}-12.5=0\\\Rightarrow 218.44=\dfrac{10304000}{3u^2}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\dfrac{10304000}{3\times218.44}}\\\Rightarrow u=125.4\ \text{m/s}$
