The distance between the bases on Max's baseball field is 94 ft. Ashlee made a throw from home plate to first base to get Mark out and Sally threw directly to third base to get Sam out.How far did the ball travel in those two throws?
Answer provided by our tutors
the distance from home plate to first base is: 94 ft
the distance from first base to third base is (we will use the Pythagorean Theorem): √(2*(94^2)) = 132.94 ft
the total distance the ball traveled is: 94 + 132.94 = 226.94 ft.
