Math often shows up in sports in ways that we don’t realize. Take for example the baseball diamond. It is actually a square with the bases set at a 90 degree angles. If the bases are 90 feet apart, how far is it from home plate to second base? Round to the nearest tenth. Distance between home plate and second base: feet

Group of answer choices

90

127.3

63.6

145

Distance between home plate and second base = 127.3 ft (Approx)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base distance = 90 ft

Find:

Distance between home plate and second base

Computation:

Distance between home plate and second base = √90²+90²

Distance between home plate and second base = √8100 + 8100

Distance between home plate and second base = √16200

Distance between home plate and second base = 127.3 ft (Approx)
