In mathematics, a proof is a sequence of statements given to explain how a conclusion is derived from premises known or assumed to be true. The proof attempts to demonstrate that the conclusion is a logical consequence of the premises, and is one of the most important goals of mathematics.

In mathematics, algebra is one of the broad parts of mathematics, together with number theory, geometry and analysis. In its most general form, algebra is the study of mathematical symbols and the rules for manipulating these symbols; it is a unifying thread of almost all of mathematics.

we're told that the press box at a baseball park is 44.5 feet above the ground and the second base yes, 13.4 degrees below the horizontal. Here I've drawn a diagram of the press box is in second base. The question asked, What is the horizontal distance from the press box to second base? And here I've lived with it by the letter X. So first, let's noticed that these two lines are parallel so that the inside angles are equal. So no, let's notice that we have the wind direction. We have an angle and we want to find the axe. So you remember from trigonometry. The tangent oven angle is equal to why divided by axe. Here we have why and we have the angle. But we're trying to find X, so we give you. Write this as X equals y, divided by tangent of the angle. If we going everything in, we find that the ex direction is approximately 187 feet. Thus, the horizontal distance from the press box to second base. There's 187 feet
