Answer 1

Answer:

Logan is 45 feet from second base.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide 90 by 2 because is 1/2 away then it would be 45

Answer 2

Answer:

Logan is standing about 38.8 feet past 2nd base.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

90^2 + b^2 = 98^2

b^2 = 98^2 - 90^2

b^2 = 9604 - 8100

b^2 = 1504

b = 38.8
