Unknown Story
Storyboard-Text
- In A baseball game I come up to bat. In my at-bat I hit a ball that hits the wall in centerfield. I know that the wall is 360 feet from home and that the fence is 15 feet tall. At what angle was the ball hit.
- After doing some math it turns out I hit the ball at the angle of 2.38 degrees.
- x
- 360 ft
- tan(x) = 15/360x = tan^-1 15/360x = 2.38 degrees.
- 15 ft
- In the next at bat I hit another ball to center this time it hits the top of a tree behind centerfield. The tree is 25 feet tall and the ball I hit was at a 3.5 degree angle. How far did I hit the ball.
- After doing some trig it turns out that the ball was hit 409.5 feet.
- 3.5 degrees
- sin (3.5) = 25/xx = 25/ sin (3.5)x = 409.5ft
- x
- 25ft
- In the next at bat I end up hitting a ball to right field. The ball hit the top of the flagpole. The ball was hit 340 feet at a angle of 16 degrees. How far is the flagpole from home plate.
- The flagpole pole turned out to be 326.82 feet from home plate.
- 12 degrees
- 340 ft
- cos(12) = x/340340 cos (12) = x x = 326.82 feet
- x
