The distance the outfielder must throw the ball to return it to the pitcher is 125 feet.

Given

On a softball field, the home plate is 43 feet from the pitcher’s mound.

A ball is hit at an angle of 27° east of the pitcher’s mound.

The ball travels 162 feet before it is caught by an outfielder.

<h3>How to use the cosine rule to find the distance?</h3>

Distance of the home plate from the pitcher's mound = 43 feet

The angle at which the ball is hit = 27° east of the pitcher's mound

The distance the ball travels before it is caught = 162 feet

The sides, b and c, and the included angle, A, of the triangle drawn are respectively;

b = 43 feet

c = 162 feet

A = 27°

The length of the third side, of the triangle, is the distance from the outfielder to the pitcher.

According to the law of cosines, we have;

a² = b² + c² - 2·b·c·cos(A)

a² = 43² + 162² - 2 × 43 × 162 × cos(27°) ≈ 15679.497105

Approximating to the nearest foot, we get;

a = 125 feet

Hence, the distance the outfielder must throw the ball to return it to the pitcher is 125 feet.

A standard deck has 52 cards consisting of 26 black and 26 red cards. Three cards are dealt from a shuffled deck without replace
Allisa [31]

They aren't independent since the probability uses all the cards in the deck

So at the first deal we have the chance of 26/52 of getting a red card, at the second deal we have the chance of a 25/51 of getting another red card, so they aren't independent

Does a equilateral have the same properties as as an isosceles triangle
Nikolay [14]
No, equilateral triangles and isosceles triangles are 2 different things, equilateral triangles have all equals sides and angles (all angle measurements would be 60 degrees) and isosceles triangles have only 2 sides of equal measurements and one is different from the other 2. Hope I helped :)
