Answer:
3.14
Step-by-step explanation:
A=π*r^2
3.14*(2^2)
3.14*4
12.56/4 (because it's 1/4th a circle)
3.14.

10 times: 10 ×
The sum of: ( ) + ( )
which would be : 10 × ( ) + ( )
half a number: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( )
and 8: 10 × ( X/2 ) + ( 8 )
is 12 : 10 × ( X/2 + 8 ) = 12
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
SIMPLIFICATION
Multiply ten: 10 X (X/2 + 8) = 12
which equals to: 5x + 80 = 12
bring the like terms together: 5x = 80 - 12
Equals: 5x = 78
Find out X:. x = 78/5
FINAL ANSWER:. X = 15.9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached picture for explanation.
To solve you need to set the equation equal to 6 (the height at which the player caught the ball.
6 = -16t^2 + 70t + 4
Next put the equation in standard form by subtracting 6 from both sides
-16t^2 + 70t - 2 = 0
This equation can be simplified by dividing by 2
-8t^2 + 35t - 1 = 0
This equation cannot be factored, but we can use the quadratic formula to find a value for x. Using the equation above we can find the values for a=-8, b = 35 and c = -1.
using the quadratic formula we can solve for x
-b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)

The solutions are
0.03 and 4.35. as 0.03 seems an unrealistic time to hit and catch a baseball we would expect the time to be 4.35 seconds.
