Answer: 
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Since you are looking for the distance from home plate to second base, you are actually looking for the length of the diagonal of the square. Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² where a and b are the side lengths and c is the length of the diagonal.

I think it takes him about 9 minutes and 25 seconds to run a mile
Your distance from Seattle after two hours of driving at 62 mph, from a starting point 38 miles east of Seattle, will be (38 + [62 mph][2 hr] ) miles, or 162 miles (east).
Your friend will be (20 + [65 mph][2 hrs] ) miles, or 150 miles south of Seattle.
Comparing 162 miles and 150 miles, we see that you will be further from Seattle than your friend after 2 hours.
After how many hours will you and your friend be the same distance from Seattle? Equate 20 + [65 mph]t to 38 + [62 mph]t and solve the resulting equation for time, t:
20 + [65 mph]t = 38 + [62 mph]t
Subtract [62 mph]t from both sides of this equation, obtaining:
20 + [3 mph]t = 38. Then [3 mph]t = 18, and t = 6 hours.
You and your friend will be the same distance from Seattle (but in different directions) after 6 hours.
24 becuase add the two together then divide by two
