Question

A professional baseball diamond is a square. The distance from base to base is 90 ft. To the nearest foot, how far does a catcher standing at home plate throw the ball across the diagonal of the square to second base?

Answer 1

D^2 = 90^2 + 90^2
= 8100+8100
= 16200
D =√16200 = 127 ft , to the nearest foot
