Question

Logan bought a baseball bat on a trip. The baseball bat is 29 inches long Logan thinks he can bring the baseball bat home in his suitcase. Is he correct? Use your understanding of the Pythagorean theorem to explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly find attached a description of Logan's suit case

given data

dimension of suitcase

adj, length=24in

opp, width=18in

dimension of base ball bat= 29in

we want to know if the bat can fit in the case, a way out is to solve for the diagonal or hypotenuse of the case using Pythagoras theorem.

we know that

hyp^2= opp^2+adj^2

hyp=√opp^2+adj^2

hyp=√18^2+24^2

hyp=√324+576

hyp=√900

hpy=30in

this means that the diagonal of the case is 30 in, seeing that the bat is 29 in, the bat cannot fit into the case

Answer 2

Since in the given situation, the diagonal of the case is 30 in and the baseball bat is 29 in, so the bat cannot fit into the case.

Pythagorean theorem:

The dimension of a suitcase is adj length=24in and opp width=18in

Now here we apply the above theorem for determining the diagonal or hypotenuse

So, the calculation is as follows:

$hyp^2= opp^2+adj^2\\\\hyp=\sqrt opp^2+adj^2\\\\hyp=\sqrt 18^2+24^2\\\\hyp=\sqrt324+576\\\\hyp=\sqrt900$

hyp=30in

Due to the above calculations, we can say that the bat cannot fit into the case
