On a softball field, 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.

A triangle is drawn on a baseball field. A point is at home plate, another point is at the pitcher apostrophe s mound, and another point is at an outfielder. The distance from home plate to the pitcher is 43 feet. The distance from home plate to the outfielder is 162 feet. The angle between the 2 sides is 27 degrees.

Law of cosines:

How far must the outfielder throw the ball to return it to the pitcher? Round to the nearest foot.

112 feet
125 feet
145 feet
156 feet

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 125ft

Step-by-step explanation: I just did it

Answer 2

The law of cosines formula gives the square of the distance the

outfielder must throw the ball.

Correct response:

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

How to use the cosine rule to find the distance

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

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

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, a of the triangle is the distance from the outfielder to the pitcher.

According to 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

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

Find the value of d that makes the equation true.

Answers

Answer:

The value of d that balances the equation is d=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

We are given an image with a hanger that represents a balanced equation.

If the equation is balanced, then the 'weights' of each side should be equal.

On the right side, there is 21 and on the left side, there are 6 and d.

Adding both, we have 6+d on the left side.

Equating both sides:

6 + d = 21

To find d, we subtract 6 on both sides:

d = 21 - 6

d = 15

The value of d that balances the equation is d=15

Answer:

d=15

Step-by-step explanation:

6+d=21

so that means d=15

6+15=21

What is the equation of the line perpendicular to y = = x+ 3 passing through the point (-3,4)?

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x + b

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of y=mx+3 that passes through (-3,4) is found like this:

1. Substitute the y and x values in (4 = m*(-3) + 3).

2. Simplify by subtracting 3 from each side (1 = m*(-3)).

3. Simplify by dividing each side by -3 (-1/3 = m).

Since the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals, the slope of the perpendicular line is 3.  The y-intercept can be anything and it will still be perpendicular.

Write the equation of a line with a slope of 3 that passes through (-3,2).

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the information into the point-slope form equation.

Point-slope form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - 2 = 3(x - (-3))

y - 2 = 3(x + 3)

y - 2 = 3x + 9

y = 3x + 11

i believe it’s (4,22)
i’m sorry if that’s not correct
have a great day!:)

Answer:

(4, 22)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 5x + 2

y  = 3x + 10

Since both equations are equal to y, we can have both equations equal to each other).

5x + 2 = 3x + 10

5x + 2 - 3x - 2 = 3x + 10 - 3x - 2

5x - 3x = 10 - 2

2x = 8

2x/2 = 8/2

x = 4

(Substitute the x value to any equation to solve for y).

y = 5x + 2

y = 5(4) + 2

y = 20 + 2

y = 22

So, the answer is (4, 22).

Find ghe solution to the system. Write your solution as an ordered pair (x,y) with no spaces,no solution,or infinitely many.y=4x and 3x+2y=55​

Answers

Answer:

The solution of the system is (5, 20).

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x and 3x + 2y = 55 are simultaneous equations. To find the unknowns, we have to solve these equations simultaneously.

The first can be rewritten as

4x – y = 0.

Therefore, we have:

4x – y = 0

3x + 2y = 55

Multiplying the first equation by 2 all through, we have

8x – 2y = 0.

So we can now combine the second equation with the first multiplied by 2.

8x – 2y = 0

3x + 2y = 55

Adding these equations we have:

11x = 55

Divide both sides by 11 and we have

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 in equation 1, we have

4(5) – y = 0

y = 20.

Therefore, x = 5 and y = 20.

The solution of the system is (5, 20).

Rabbit populations can double every 30 days. If there are 26 rabbits on a farm, how many rabbits will be on the farm after 240 days? Use the Formula: Future Amount = { ](1+__)^{ }

Answers

Answer: 6,656 rabbits.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial number of rabbits is 26.

We know that every 30 days, this number is doubled.

Then after 30 days, the population of rabbits is: 2*26

After other 30 days, the population will be: 2*(2*26) = 26*(2)^2

After another 30 days, the population will be: 2*26*(2)^2 = 26*(26)^3

The equation for this population can be written as:

P = A*(1 + 1)^(d/30)

where:

A is the initial population, in this case, 26

d is the number of days that have ben passed.

the denominator of 30 is because the population doubles every 3 days, so when d = 30, we will have that d/30 = 1, this is the first time that the population is doubled. When d = 60, d/30 = 2, this is the second time that the population is doubled, and so on.

Then our equation is:

P(d) = 26*(2)^(d/30)

The population after 240 days will be:

P(240) = 26*(2)^(240/30) = 6,656

So after 240 days, there will be 6,656 rabbits.

Answer:

x = 14[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

y = 14

z= 14[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the top triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle and the triangle below is a 30-60-90 triangle.

Using the fact that the top triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle and also an isosceles triangle, we can see that x will be the same as its respective leg, 14[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Now, we must find a side length of the bottom triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the third side of the top triangle, which is also a side of the bottom triangle. We can find that the third side must be 28. We can now use this to find the other sides of the bottom triangle.

Since y is opposite to the 30 degree angle, it is half of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse which we found earlier is 28, therefore, y is 14. z is then 14[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] using either Pythagorean Theorem or special right triangle properties for 30-60-90.

Answer:

C. 5.8

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the Pythagoras theorem here. which is a²+b²=c².

a and b are the replacements for the 5miles and  3miles here.

They are a and b because a  and b are always on the right angle side.

The longest side of this triangle is called a hypotenuse which is the c in this case.

the other sides (a and b) are called the adjacent and the opposite.

it doesn't matter if you use adjacent or opposite for a and b in this case.

the only important thing is the hypotenuse here.

So it's a²+b²=c², which is 5²+3²=c².

5² is 25 and 3² is 9, so we add them and we get 34.

so c²=34, we don't want the square on c  so we send it to 34 which becomes √34.

√34 gives us 5.8 miles which is up to just only one decimal place.

$900 is the total amount of money she has after 20 years.

What is simple interest?

Simple interest is, by definition, the amount of interest paid on a specific principal sum of money when an interest rate is applied. Compound interest, on the other hand, is the interest that is computed using both the principal and the interest that has accumulated over the preceding period.

From the formula of simple interest A = P(1 + rt)

Where A = amount earned

P = principal amount

r = rate of interest

t = time

In our case

P = 500

r = 4%

t = 20

Thus,

Amount earned after 20 years = 500(1 + 4*20/100)

Amount earned after 20 years = 500(1 + 4/5)

Amount earned after 20 years = 900

therefore, the total amount of money she has after 20 years is $900.
