Answer:

Any radical in the form can be written using a fractional exponent in the form . The relationship between and works for rational exponents that have a numerator of 1 as well. For example, the radical can also be written as , since any number remains the same value if it is raised to the first power.

If the area of a baseball diamond (shape of a square) is 8100 ft squared, how would you find the distance from 1st base to 3rd b

Answer:

Exact distance = $90\sqrt{2}$ feet
Approximate distance = 127.2792 feet.

===========================================================

Explanation:

The area of the square is 8100 square feet, abbreviated ft^2.

Apply the square root to find the distance from any base to its adjacent counterpart (eg: from 1st to 2nd base). So we get sqrt(8100) = 90 ft as that side distance. Notice that 90*90 = 8100.

If you were to draw a line from 1st base to 3rd base, then you would split the square into two congruent right triangles. Each right triangle is isosceles (the two legs being 90 ft each).

Use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse.

$a^2 + b^2 = c^2\\\\c = \sqrt{a^2+b^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{90^2+90^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{2*90^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{2}*\sqrt{90^2}\\\\c = \sqrt{2}*90\\\\c = 90\sqrt{2} \ \text{ ... exact distance}\\\\c \approx 127.2792 \ \text{ ... approximate distance}\\\\$
