Question

https://prnt.sc/11jac3n

What is the distance from the right center field fence to third base?

Answer 1

This is very similar to your previous problem. Have they given you an angle?

Answer 2

I got 389

Answer 3

Thats all they have given me

Answer 4

There's no additional information in the question stem?

Answer 5

No

Answer 6

Can you show your work? How did you reach that final answer?

I'm assuming that the angle doesn't change and remains 63.4 as it was in the initial question: https://prnt.sc/11932ho

Answer 7

I think Im not sure

Answer 8

???

How did you get 389 then

Answer 9

I saw a similar question on brainly and used the pythagorean theorem

Answer 10

so 400=x^2+90^2

Answer 11

400^2=x^2+90^2

Answer 12

If you look at the image, you'll see that it is NOT a right angle triangle so we cannot use the Pythagorean theorem

Which is why we had to use the law of sines in the initial question you asked a few days ago

Answer 13

We only know two sides. We could only use the law of cosines to find the angle if we knew all three sides.

Answer 14

one question -- @iosangel , is this from the same assignemt?

Answer 15

What do you mean

Answer 16

Oh yes

Answer 17

I believe we have to just assume that the angle remains the same from the home plate to the right center field

but now it's a larger field

Answer 18

Can you post the parts of the question that came prior to this question?

Answer 19

what🤣

Answer 20

Yes It was actually a whole project I think Ive got somethings wrong

I was supposed to find a stadium And I found this one
http://www.andrewclem.com/Baseball/MileHighStadium.html

Then
Draw and label a figure displaying each of the following details for the major league ballpark that Ive identified

Like this

A triangle showing the relationship between the distance from home plate to the right center field fence, the distance from the right center field fence to third base, and the distance from third base to home plate. Label the sides of the triangle and the known distances and angle measure.
•
Label the length of the side that represents the distance from the right center field fence to third base x

But i had to use something like this https://prnt.sc/11j9nb3

Answer 21

I've done everything right I think Except the Angle I'm not sure how to get that

Answer 22

This assignment is so ridiculous

Answer 23

Yes

Answer 24

is there nothing specified about the stadium? like nothing at all? just a random stadium?

Answer 25

Its got dimensions

Answer 26

In the bottom

Answer 27

From home plate to the center field will always be 90 feet

this has dimensions from the home plate to the other various places on the field

Answer 28

http://www.andrewclem.com/Baseball/Outfield_trigonometry.html

But this assignment is ridiculous because the stadiums all have different sizes too?? And to top it off, a lot of the ones listed there don't have a curved outfield fences

The closest that I could find is probably the Yankees stadium

but you'll still be clueless on the angle so I guess it's just best to go with the angle that was in your original problem (angle of 63.4)

Answer 29

Ok Ill just do that
