The catcher is trying to throw out a base runner trying to steal second base. If the distance between bases is 90 feet , approximately how far is the catcher's throw? (Round to the nearest whole number) See attachment below.

Thank you!!

Answer 1

Answer: I have a slight problem going into this question: I don't know much
about baseball.

I know it's called a baseball "diamond", but is it really a square ?
I mean is the distance from Home to 2nd base the same as the
distance between 1st and 3rd base ?

You know what ? If it's not a square, then we don't have enough
information to solve this problem. But since they gave it to you to
solve, with just that much information, I guess it must be square.
OK. The baseball diamond is actually a square ... at least THIS
one is.

That means there's a right angle at each base.

Great !
Get your scissors and carefully cut the baseball diamond in half,
along the line from Home to 2nd base. Then throw away one half.

Now what do you hold in your hand ?

It's a right triangle. The legs are the two 90-ft base lines, the right angle
is at that base, and the hypotenuse is the line from Home to 2nd base ...
exactly the distance the catcher has to throw to Second.

Can you find the length of the hypotenuse when the legs are both 90 ft ?

Remember the hypotenuse is

the square root of (one leg squared plus the other leg squared).

You can finish it off from here. Take it, Braydon !

Laurie was scuba diving. Each time she dove 5 feet deeper, she would stop and clear her ears. After Laurie had checked her instruments 3 times, she was at her maximum depth of 60 feet. Which expression best represents Laurie's maximum depth? (4) (negative 5) (3) (Negative 4) (Negative 5) (Negative 3) (Negative 5) (20) (3) (Negative 5) (Negative 20) (Negative 3)

Answers

Complete question :

Answer:

(-5) * (20) * (3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Diving 5 feets deeper = descent = negative 5 Feets

Each time instrument is checked = (60/3) = depth of 20 feets

Number of times instrument is checked = 3

Hence, maximum depth :

Diving 5 feets deeper * Each time instrument is checked = depth of 20 feets * Number of times instrument is checked

(-5) * (20) * (3) = - 60

A card is chosen from a standard deck of cards. What is the probability that the card is a king, given that the card is black ? A. 1/26 B. 1/13 C. 1/2 D.2/13 And I have another question. A drawer contains 12 brown socks, 8 white socks, and 2 blue socks. One sock is selected at random. What is the probability that the sock is blue, given that it is NOT brown? A. 1/4 B. 1/5 C. 1/10 D. 1/11. Thank you sorry i'm a noob at this.

Answers

EVERY probability question uses this formula.
You should memorize it.

Probability =
   (number of ways it can happen the way you want it)
   divided by
   (total number of ways it can happen).

When a card is chosen from a standard deck of cards, it can turn out
in 52 different total ways.
If you're looking for a black king, there are 2 of those.
So the probability is

2 / 52 = 1 / 26 = about 3.85%

===============================

In the sock drawer . . .

-- There are 22 socks altogether.

-- What is the total number of ways you can draw a single sock ?
Normally it would be 22. But the question says the one you draw is
definitely NOT brown. So you can just toss the brown socks out of
the question entirely. You're actually working with the total number
of ways you can draw one sock that is not brown. There are 10 of those.

-- 2 of them are blue.

-- So the probability is . . .

   2 / 10 = 1 / 5 = 20% .

There are 26 black cards in a deck of cards.

There is a King Of Clubs and a King of Spades.

So, given that the card is black, the chances of it being a King is:

2/26 which is 1/13.

This can be proven:

P(Card Is Black (B)) = 26/52

P(Card Is King (K)) = 4/52

P(Card Is King And Black) = 2/52

$P\left( K|B \right) =\frac { P\left( K\cap B \right) }{ P\left( B \right) } \n \n =\frac { \frac { 2 }{ 52 } }{ \frac { 26 }{ 52 } } \n \n =\frac { 2 }{ 52 } * \frac { 52 }{ 26 } \n \n =\frac { 2 }{ 26 } \n \n =\frac { 1 }{ 13 }$

----------

Using Bayes' theorem and:

P(Brown Sock (B)) = 12/22

P(White Sock (W)) = 8/22

P(Blue Sock (L)) = 2/22

P(Not Brown Sock (N)) = 10/22

Had to use this to make sure I got the right answer. Second question was a tad confusing.

$P\left( L|N \right) =\frac { P\left( L \right) * P\left( N|L \right) }{ P\left( N \right) } \n \n =\frac { \frac { 2 }{ 22 } * 1 }{ \frac { 10 }{ 22 } } \n \n =\frac { 2 }{ 22 } * \frac { 22 }{ 10 } \n \n =\frac { 2 }{ 10 } \n \n =\frac { 1 }{ 5 }$

suppose that you're building a shed and me to pour concrete slab to support it. You know that the slab will be 15 feet wide, 10 feet long, 6 inches deep. concrete is usually sold by the cubic yard. How many cubic yards of concrete will you need for the slab?

Answers

convert all to one unit - I'm choosing feet
15 x 10 x 0.5 = 15 x 5 = 75 feet
1 cubic yard = 1 yard x 1 yard x 1 yard = 3 ft x 3 ft x 3 ft = 27 feet?

75/27 = 2.77777778 cubic yards (I think)

Round the number to the thousandths place. 47,268.568593a. 47,268.568
b. 48,000
c. 47,268.569
d. 47,000

Answers

The required number would be 47,268.569 which is rounded to the thousandths place which is the correct answer would be option (C)

How do you round a number to the closest thousandths?

Rounded to the closest thousandths means a multiple of 1000 which is near to the number. The decimal point is followed by the number closest to the tenth, and the hundredth place number is used to decide whether or not the value should be rounded. Leave it alone if it is four or less; if it is four to nine, bump it up one.

We have to determine Round the number 47,268.568593 to the thousandth place.

⇒ 47,268.568593

Rounded to the nearest thousandths.

⇒ 47,268.569

Therefore, the required number is 47,268.569 which is rounded to the thousandths place which is the correct answer would be option (C)

Consider the following set of equations: Equation A: y = 2x + 4
Equation B: y = 3x + 1

Which of the following is a step that can be used to find the solution to the set of equations?

2x + 4 = 3x + 1

2x = 3x + 4

2x + 4 = 3x

2x + 1 = 3x + 4
