RĂ©ponse :
Since we are dealing with a square, we can use the pythagorean theorem to figure out the length of the side. Let A = Second base, B = Home and C = First base. We can write : AC² = BC² + AB²
But since the baseball diamond is a square, BC = AB and so :
AC² = 2AB² (or 2BC²)
AB² = AC² / 2
Knowing that AC = 127 feet, we can replace the value and get :
AB² = 127² / 2 = 63.5
AB² = 63.5 means that AB = 7.968
So finally, the distance to the nearest tenth of a footh, between Home and First Base sir 8 foot.
