A slow-pitch softball diamond is actually a square 65 ft on a side. How far is it from home to second base

Answer provided by our tutors

The distance from home plate to 2nd base

is the hypotenuse of a right triangle

with legs = 65 ft.

-----

h^2 = 65^2 + 65^2

h^2 = 2*65^2

h = 65*sqrt(2)

h = 91.92 ft.
