Question

The infield of a softball

diamond is shaped like a
square. If the distance
between bases is 60 feet,
Find the diagonal distance
From third base to First
base

1-84.9
2-11.9
3-12.5

Answer 1

84.9

Explanation:

The distance between first and third base makes the hypotonus of a triangle where the lengths of the legs are each 60 feet. To find the hypotonus, add (60)^2 + (60)^2 to get 3600 +3600 = 7200. Then square root 7200 to get the distance between first and third as 84.9
