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>

In a group of 100 students, 25 own a laptop, 40 own a mobile phone, and 35 own either a
Talja [164]

Answer:

My best answer is that the probability is 35/100 that the student chosen at random owns neither a laptop nor a mobile phone.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you go back and read the introductory passage, you will notice it says, "In a group of 100 students... 35 own either a laptop or a mobile phone, but not both." And I think the other numbers, I.E. 25 and 40, were just meant to throw us off. Therefore, I think 35/100 is the probability.

A furnace used 40% of the fuel in its tank in the month of March and then used 25% of the remaining fuel in the month of April.
gtnhenbr [62]
March: 240 * 0.4 = 96 used
240 - 96 = 144 remains in the tank

April : 144 * 0.25 = 36 used
144 - 36 = 108 remains in tank

answer: 108 gallons left at the end of April
