The distance the ball is thrown is given by cosine rule and the triangle

formed by a known location, the thrower and the destination.

Correct response:

  • <u>Hector throws the ball farther than Tre</u>
<h3>Methods used to obtain the correct response</h3>

The given dimensions are;

Dimension of the base diamond = 90 feet by 90 feet

Distance of pitcher's mound from home base = 60.5 feet

Horizontal distance from pitchers mound to right fielder = 95 feet

The distance between Tre and the 3rd base, d₁, is calculated using cosine rule as follows;

  • a² = b² + c² - 2·b·c·cos(A)

Where;

A = The angle formed by the line, <em>b</em>, from home base to the pitcher's mound and the line, <em>c</em>,  from home base to 3rd base.

a = Distance from the pitcher's mound to 3rd base = d₁

b = 60.5 feet

c = 90 feet

Therefore;

d₁² = 60.5² + 90² - 2 × 60.5 × 90 × cos(45°) = 11,760.25 - 10,890·cos(45°)

d₁ = √(11,760.25 - 10,890×cos(45°)) ≈ 63.717

  • The distance Tre throws the ball, d₁ ≈ 63.717 feet

Similarly, the distance Hector throws the ball, d₂, is calculated as follows;

d₂² = (90·√2 - 60.5)² + 95² - 2 × (90·√2 - 60.5) × 95 × cos(45°)

Which gives;

d₂ = √((90·√2 - 60.5)² + 95² - 2 × (90·√2 - 60.5) × 95 × cos(45°)) ≈ 67.18

  • The distance Hector throws the ball, d₂ ≈ 67.18 feet

Therefore;

  • The distance Hector throws the ball, d₂ ≈ 67.18 feet, is farther than the distance, d₁ ≈ 63.717 feet, Tre throws the ball

PLEASE HELP

Answer:

perimeter is  4 sqrt(29) + 4pi  cm

area is 40 + 8pi cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a semicircle and a triangle

First the semicircle with diameter 8

A = 1/2 pi r^2 for a semicircle

r = d/2 = 8/2 =4

A = 1/2 pi ( 4)^2

  =1/2 pi *16

  = 8pi

Now the triangle with base 8 and height 10

A = 1/2 bh

  =1/2 8*10

  = 40

Add the areas together

A = 40 + 8pi cm^2

Now the perimeter

We have 1/2 of the circumference

1/2 C =1/2 pi *d

         = 1/2 pi 8

        = 4pi

Now we need to find the length of the hypotenuse of the right triangles

using the pythagorean theorem

a^2+b^2 = c^2

The base is 4 ( 1/2 of the diameter) and the height is 10

4^2 + 10 ^2 = c^2

16 + 100 = c^2

116 = c^2

sqrt(116) = c

2 sqrt(29) = c

Each hypotenuse is the same so we have

hypotenuse + hypotenuse + 1/2 circumference

2 sqrt(29) + 2 sqrt(29) + 4 pi

4 sqrt(29) + 4pi  cm
