Q: In baseball, the baseline is a segment connecting the bases. A shortstop is told to play back 3 yd from the baseline and exactly the same distance from second base and third base. Describe how the shortstop could estimate the correct spot. There are 30 yd between bases. Assume that the shortstop has a stride of 36 in.

Question

The answer to this question is: Pace off 15 strides (15 yd) from the third base, make a 90 degree left turn, and count off three more strides (3 yd).

I don't really understand how my teacher got this so can someone pleases how me how to get this answer step by step?

Answer 3

the stride is one yard.
So, the bases are 30 paces apart.
15 paces is halfway between the bases, along the baseline.
Then move back 3 paces from the baseline.
Done.
