Trigonometry in baseball

identify a major league ballpark in which the distance from home plate to the center field
fence and the height of the center field fence require that a ball hit 2 ft above the ground will
necessitate an angle of elevation less than 0.86 to just clear the center field fence. The
ballpark you will identify today is known as "Comersia Park "aka the home of the Detroit
tigers. The distance between the Homeplate to the center field fence is 420 ft. however the
center field fence height is 9ft. make sure to find out the elevation and velocity?

Answer:

first off the park you've listed is no match for the fact its more then 0.86.

Explanation:


tan^(-1) ((7)/(420) )\\\\= arctan ((7)/(420) )\\\\= arctan ((1)/(60) )\\= 0.95

so basically it equals 0.95°

which basically means 0.86 < 0.95.
