Question

Hey I could really use some help.

In baseball, it is 90 feet from home to first base. Knowing this, what would the distance from
home plate to third base be? How did you determine your answer?

Answer 1

well 270 if you run all around. but 90 if going straight from home to third.

Explanation:

the lines all around are congruent determined by the dashes in the middle so each line is 90 feet, so multiplied by three, you get 270 if running all around.

Answer 2

270 feet.

Explanation:

90 multiplied by three is 270. And a baseball field is square (obvi.) which means from one base to the next would still be 90.

Hope this helps!
