In this problem, we can imagine that all the points connect to form a triangle. The three point or vertices are located on the pitcher mount, the home plate and where the outfielder catches the ball. So in this case we are given two sides of the triangle and the angle in between the two sides.

<span>With the following conditions, we can use the cosine law to solve for the unknown 3rd side. The formula is:</span>

c^2 = a^2 + b^2 – 2 a b cos θ

Where,

a = 60.5 ft

b = 195 ft

θ = 32°

Substituting the given values:

c^2 = (60.5)^2 + (195)^2 – 2 (60.5) (195) cos 32

c^2 = 3660.25 + 38025 – 20009.7

c^2 = 21,675.56

c = 147.23 ft

<span>Therefore the outfielder throws the ball at a distance of 147.23 ft towards the home plate.</span>

taurus [48]
Product of two consecutive integer so this mean that x and y but y = x+1 than

x(x+1)=1332

x^2 +x -1332 =0  so bc. you get 36*37=1332 and 37x-36x=x so you can rewriting this quadratic factorized completlie 

x^2 +x -1332 = 0

(x+37)(x-36)=0

x+37=0

x=-37 so the larger integer result that will be 37

Tanzania [10]

Answer: Inductive Reasoning.

Had to complete the question first.

Maria is writing a list of numbers. She asked Susanne what the next number would be . After looking at the list: 7,14,21,28,35,42,_Susanne states,”the next number will be 49” inductive or deductive.

Step-by-step explanation:

inductive reasoning: This is known as a process of using observations and  examples to reach a conclusion or decision.

When ever a pattern or trend is used to predict the next possible outcome, you are using inductive reasoning. Just like from Maria list Susanne was able to predict that the next number would be 49 because the sequence increases with an interval of 7. ( 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49).

Teagan believes she can use a division expression to find the amount of pizza each of 6 friends will eat if they share Four-fift
serg [7]

Answer:

Option (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Total no of friends are 6

The share of each friend is 4/5

Pizza eaten by each friend is equal to the total pizza eaten divided by total no of friends. It can be given by :

=\dfrac{\dfrac{4}{5}}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{1}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{15}

It means that Teagan is correct in using a division expression because the question is about splitting a value into equal parts.  Hence, the correct option is (b).

The equation y=9.56x + 495.35 represents the number of calories, y, consumed in one day based on a persons weight, x. Jill consu
Maslowich
Have to fill in the variables for the equation for each person so...

Y = 9.56(x) + 495.35

Y = Number of calories
X = Weight

Jill's equation would be...
1850 = 9.56(x) + 495.35

Jaxon's equation would be...
Y = 9.56(120) + 495.35

Now you need to solve each one for the missing information...
We'll start with Jill...

1850 = 9.56(x) + 495.35

You subtract 495.35 from both sides.

1850 - 495.35 = 1,354.65

Then you divide to find X.

9.56(x) = 1,354.65

1,354.65 / 9.56 = 141.69

Rounded up... 141.7 is Jill's weight

Now Jaxon's calorie intake...

Y = 9.56(120) + 495.35

First multiply 9.56 by 120 so...

9.56 ・120 = 1,147.2

Then add to find Y.

1,147.2 + 495.35 = 1,642.55

Rounded up... Jaxon's Calorie intake is 1,642.6

Then compare information and see what answer choice matches...

Jill weighs 141.7 and intakes 1850 calories

Jaxon weighs 120 and intakes 1,642.6 calories

So your answer would be...

A) Jill weighs about 20 more lbs than Jaxon
