Not sure if any of this is correct, but it’s what I got so far

Problem 1 is correct. You use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse.

==================================================

Problem 2 has the correct answer, but one part of the steps is a bit strange. I agree with the 132 ft/sec portion; however, I'm not sure why you wrote \frac{1 \text{ sec}}{132 \text{ ft}}=\frac{0.59\overline{09}}{78 \text{ ft}}*127 \text{ ft}

I would write it as \frac{1\text{ sec}}{132 \text{ ft}}*127 \text{ ft} = \frac{127}{132} \text{ sec} \approx 0.96 \text{ sec}

==================================================

For problem 3, we first need to convert the runner's speed from mph to feet per second.

17.5 \text{ mph} = \frac{17.5 \text{ mi}}{1 \text{ hr}}*\frac{1 \text{ hr}}{60 \text{ min}}*\frac{1 \text{ min}}{60 \text{ sec}}*\frac{5280 \text{ ft}}{1 \text{ mi}} \approx 25.667 \text{ ft per sec}

Since the runner needs to travel 90-12 = 78 ft, this means\text{time} = \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \approx \frac{78 \text{ ft}}{25.667 \text{ ft per sec}} \approx 3.039 \text{ sec}

So the runner needs about 3.039 seconds. In problem 2, you calculated that it takes about 0.96 seconds for the ball to go from home to second base. The runner will not beat the throw. The ball gets where it needs to go well before the runner arrives there too.

-------------

The question is now: how much of a lead does the runner need in order to beat the throw?

Well the runner needs to get to second base in under 0.96 seconds.

Let's calculate the distance based on that, and based on the speed we calculated earlier above.

\text{distance} = \text{rate}*\text{time} \approx (25.667 \text{ ft per sec})*(0.96 \text{ sec}) \approx 24.64032 \text{ ft}

This is the distance the runner can travel if the runner only has 0.96 seconds. So the lead needed is 90-24.64032 = 65.35968 feet

This is probably not reasonable considering it's well over halfway (because 65.35968/90 = 0.726 = 72.6%). If the runner is leading over halfway, then the runner is probably already in the running motion and not being stationary.

As you can see, the runner is very unlikely to steal second base. Though of course such events do happen in real life. What may explain this is the reaction time of the catcher may add on just enough time for the runner to steal second base. For this problem however, we aren't considering the reaction time. Also, not all catchers can throw the ball at 90 mph which is quite fast. According to quick research, the MLB says the average catcher speed is about 81.8 mph. This slower throwing speed may account for why stealing second base isn't literally impossible, although it's still fairly difficult.

Can u help me figure this out lol

Answer:

Cost of a T-shirt is £4
Cost of a Hat is £1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let T be the cost of each T-shirt and H the cost of each hat

We get two equations based on the cost description

3T + 2H = 14 ...... (1)
2T + 7H = 15 ...... (2)

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 3 so that the T terms are the same
(1) x 2  ==> 6T + 4H = 28  ...  (3)
(2) x 3 ==> 6T + 21H = 45 ... (4)

Subtract (3) from (4) to eliminate the T terms
21H - 4H = 45 - 28 or 17H = 17 ==> H = 1

Substituting the value of H in either (1) or (2) will give us a value for T
Substitute in (1)
3T + 2*1 = 14 ==> 3T = 12, T = 4

Check
In (1) 3 *4 + 2 *1 = 14
In (2) 2*4 + 7*1 = 15
So satisfies both equations

Given only the information in the diagram, determine if m is parallel to n. If so, name the postulate or theorem used to support
Advocard [28]

Answer:

<em><u>From my research on the internet, the image attached supports this problem. The two lines are parallel, as supported by the converse of corresponding angles postulate. It states that: If a transversal intersects two lines and the corresponding angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.</u></em>

Simpify the expression.<br>5+4z-2z<br><br>Simpilfied expression ​
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

2z + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to combine like terms

subtract 4z - 2z and you get 2z

the number with the variable next to it goes first not the constant

2z + 5

the variable is z and the constant is 5 because it doesn't have variable next to it

hope this makes sense and helps :)

a plastering contractor charges $18 per square yard( that is $2 per square foot). what is the cost of plastering 100 feet of wal
Tomtit [17]
Basically, this problem is going to require you to solve for the area and multiply it with the given cost unit.

Area = Length*Height
Area = 100 ft * 8 ft = 800 ft²

Total Cost = (Unit Cost)(Area)
Total Cost = ($2/ft²)(800 ft²)
<em>Total Cost = $1,600</em>

Is the figure a rectangle? Explain.
luda_lava [24]

The correct option is b. No, it is not a rectangle because the sides of the parallelogram do not meet at right angles.

<h3>How to explain the information?</h3>

The figure is a parallelogram and one diagonal measure 28 units.

In this case, it is not a rectangle because the sides of the parallelogram do not meet at right angles.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
