In a particular baseball park, the distance from home plate down the third baseline to the bottom of the left field wall is 306 feet. In left field, at the end of the baseline, the wall is perpendicular to the ground and is 32 feet tall. Determine the distance from home plate to the top of the left field wall along the third base line.

Pythagorean Theorem

S = (306^2 + 32^2)^1/2 = 307.7 ft

step-by-step explanation:

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
