Question

A baseball "diamond" is a square with a side length of 90 feet. How far is the throw from 3rd base to 1st base? (round your answer to one decimal place)

Answer 1

Farthest will be diagonal (d) can be found using Pythagorean Theorem:

d = √(length1 ² + length2 ² )

as it is a square the side lengths are equal = 90 ft

d = √(90² + 90²)

d = √ (8100+ 8100)

d = 127.27 feet.
