It is the same distance from second base to first base, and from second base to third base. The angle formed by first base, second base, and home plate has the same measure as the angle formed by third base, second base, and home plate. What can you conclude about the distance from first base to home plate, and from home plate to third base? Explain using your knowledge of congruent triangles.

You can conclude that the distance from first base to home plate, and from home plate to third base, are the same. This is because the angles formed by first base, second base, and home plate, and the angles formed by third base, second base, and home plate, are congruent. This means that the sides of the triangles formed by these angles are also congruent, which means that the distance from first base to home plate, and from home plate to third base, must be the same.
