OK, the square root of 250 is 15.811 . . .
but since this can't be expressed as a decimal for your purposes, let's try factoring. Since 250 ends in a zero, only numbers 5 or 0 or those ending in 5 or 0 could be factors.
The square root of 250 can be factored into the square root of 25 and the square root of 10.
The square root of 25 is exactly 5, and the exact square root of 10 is another decimal, so your simplified answer can be expressed as 5 times the square root of 10.

The distance between each base on a field is 90 ft. How far does a catcher have to throw the ball from home plate to second base

Gnoma [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

A baseball field is in the shape of a square (or diamond). Home plate and second base are opposite corners of each other. So the distance is equal to the diagonal of the square.

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the diagonal, or use properties of a 45-45-90 triangle.

Using Pythagorean theorem:

c² = a² + b²

c² = (90 ft)² + (90 ft)²

c = 90√2 ft

c ≈ 127 ft
