Question

problem solving in baseball, the strike zone is the region a baseball needs to pass through for the umpire to declare it a strike when the batter does not swing. the top of the strike zone is a horizontal plane passing through the midpoint of the top of the batters shoulders and the top of the uniform pants when the player is in a batting stance. find the height t of the top of the strike zone. (note: all heights are in inches.) the height t is inches

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the two - height values

The height of the top of the shoulders is 60 inches and the height of the top of the uniform pants is 42 inches.

Step2: Calculate the mid - point

The formula for the mid - point of two numbers \(a\) and \(b\) is \(\frac{a + b}{2}\). Here \(a = 60\) and \(b=42\), so \(T=\frac{60 + 42}{2}\).
\[T=\frac{102}{2}=51\]

Answer:

51
