Question

A baseball diamond has an area of 3,600 ft. square. What is the distance between each base.

Answer 1

A diamond is the same thing as a square. So the side lengths are all the same. Multiplied length by width you get area. So square the area (3600) and you get 60 feet side length. The bases are 60 feet away from each other.

SLOVIN

A baseball diamond is just like a square, meaning the area of the baseball diamond can be calculate with: , where s = side, and A = area.

Plug in area value.

Take square root of both sides.

(since 6 x 6 = 36, then 60 x 60 = 3600)

the distance between each base is 60 feet.

Answer 2

60 feet

Explanation:

1. A baseball diamond is just like a square, meaning the area of the baseball diamond can be calculate with:
`s^2 = A`, where s = side, and A = area.

2. (Solving)

Step 1: Plug in area value.

• 
  `s^2 = 3600`

Step 2: Take square root of both sides.

• 
  `√(s^2) = \sqrt{3600`
• (since 6 x 6 = 36, then 60 x 60 = 3600)
• 
  `s = 60`

Therefore, the distance between each base is 60 feet.
