Question

Roberto Clemente, born in Puerto Rico, became the first Latino baseball player to be inducted in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1973. He held many records including reaching 3,000 career hits. During that game, the umpire briefly stopped the game to give the ball to Clemente, who tossed it from second base to the first base coach. If the first base coach was standing 3 feet behind first base and Clemente was standing on second base, which is 90 feet from first base, which expression describes the distance between Clemente and the first base coach?

Answer 1

93ft

Explanation:

Kindly find a simple sketch of a baseball pitch, the circle with a dot inside represents the first base coach(don't mind my drawing please I will improve).

So, from the diagram, we can see that the expression that describes the distance and the first base coach is

y=90+3

y=93

so the distance between Roberto Clemente and the first base coach is 93ft
