Wilt Chamberlin holds the record for the highest number of points scored in a single NBA basketball game. Chamberlin scored 100 points for Philadelphia against the New York Knicks on March 2, 1962. Chamberlain made a total of 64 baskets consisting of field goals (worth 2 points) and foulshots (worth 1 point). Find the number of field goals and the number of foul shots that chamberlain mad

field goals = 36,  foul shots = 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Chamberlin scored 100 points.

Chamberlain made a total of 64 baskets consisting of field goals and foulshots.

Each field goal worth = 2 points

Each foulshot  worth =  1 points

Question asked:

Find the number of field goals and the number of foul shots that chamberlain made ?

Solution:

Let number of field goals =

As total of 64 baskets, he made:

Then number of foul shots =

Now, total points, he scored is given 100,

Number of field goals 2 + Number of foul shots 1 = 100

Subtracting both sides by 64

Number of field goals = = 36

Then number of foul shots = = 64 - 36 = 28

Therefore, 36 field goals and 28 foul shots made by chamberlain.

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
