Question

A soft ball diamond is a square with bases at each corner. the

distance between bases is 65ft. what is the distance from home
plate to second base?

Answer 1

91.92 ft

Explanation:

The distance between the home plate and the second base is equivalent to the diagonal of a square with 65 ft sides. Therefore, the distance can be determined as:

`D^2=65^2+65^2\\D=√(8450) \\D=91.92\ ft`

The distance is 91.92 ft.
