If you need the geometry and trigonometry I'll post those. Instead I found an answer at this link: http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMAT6450/Class%20Projects/Scarpelli/Scarpelli_MathematicsBaseballActivity.....
The distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound is 60.5 feet and from home plate to second base is <span>127.28 feet.
Pitcher's Mound to 2nd base = </span><span>
<span>
<span>
66.78</span> </span>f</span>eet
Given those distances, we KNOW a 50 foot sprinkler will NOT reach home plate and second base from the pitcher's mound.
I didn't figure out the pitcher's mound to 1st or to 3rd, since the question is already answered.
Hi,
Let Sydney's age be x.
Devaughn=(x-15)
x+(x-15)=37
x+x-15=37
2x-15=37
2x=37+15
2x=52
x=52/2
x=26
Sydney is 26 years old.
Hope this Helps you.
Answer:
Distance between A and B is 5400 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider "D" the letter to identify distance between A and B
Let's use "t" to identify the time of the first encounter (Devi and Kumar), and create an equation that states that the distance covered by Devi (at 100 m/min) in time "t", is equal to the total distance D minus what Kumar has covered at his speed (80 m/min) in that same time:
Recall that distance equals the speed times the time:
distance= speed * time
First encounter:
100 * t = D - 80 * t
180 * t = D Equation (1)
Not, 6 minutes later (at time t+6) , Devi and Li Ting meet .
Then for this encounter the distance covered by Devi equals total distance d minus the distance covered by Li Ting:
100 *(t+6) = D - 75 * (t+6)
100 t + 600 = D - 75 t - 450
175 T + 150 = D Equation (2)
Now, let's equal equation (1) to equation (2), since D should be the same:
180 t = 175 t + 150
5 t = 150
t = 30
Then the time t (first encounter) is 30 minutes. Knowing this, we can use either equation to find D:
From Equation (1) for example: D = 180 * t = 180 * 30 = 5400 meters
