Amodel of a baseball diamond is a square
with a perimeter of 36 in. what is the length
on the model from first base to third base?
(round to the nearest whole number)

Okay. So let’s break this down. We can solve this problem without a picture because it is a square. Therefore, all sides are the same. There are also four sides on a square. I have two ways to solve this problem.

One:
Divide 36 by 4 to know what each side is. 36/4 is 9. Since we are running from first to third, that is two sections of the field. Half of it. We would multiply 9 by 2. We get 18.

Two:
We know that from first to third is half the field. So we can do 36/0.5. This way, get 18

18 inches

Ithink the answer is b.
