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

If triangles AMN and ABC are similar, then

AM/AB = AN/AC

or

AM/(AM + MB) = AN/(AN + NC)

Check if this is true:

AM/AB = 21/(21 + 9) = 21/30 = 7/10

AN/AC = 14/(14 + 6) = 14/20 = 7/10

The angle at vertex A is common to both of the triangles.

Then by the side-angle-side (SAS) similarity theorem, the triangles are indeed similar.

The area of the circle shown would not be 5pi. If you look closer, the area is 25pi, therefore the answer is 3. I hope this helps!

Find the missing angles
o-na [289]

Answer:

<b= 36 degrees, <c= 144 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

144 and b are supplementary meaning they add up to 180.

144 and c are vertical angles meaning they are congruent.

Help asap please and please explain so I could try the rest on my own
kiruha [24]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

It has a 45 45 90 ratio, so if the hypotenuse is 7 root 2, then the two sides have to be 7.
