Answer:

<h2>The distance from the pitcher's mound and to second base is 37.99 approximately.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The diamond is a square, which in this case has 50 feet long each side, and from home to pitcher is 38 feet. Notice that home is a vertex of the square and the pitcher's mound is the intersection of the diagonals, where they cut half.

We can find the distance from the pitcher to first base using Pythagorean's Theorem, where 50 feet is the hypothenuse.

50^{2} =38^{2}+x^{2}\\x^{2}=50^{2}-38^{2}\\x=\sqrt{2500-1444}\\ x=\sqrt{1056}\\ x \approx 32.5 \ ft

Therefore, the distance from the pitcher to first base is 32.5 feet, approximately.

Now, we can use again Pythagorean's Theorem to find the distance from pitcher to second base, where the hypothenuse is 50 feet.

50^{2}=32.5^{2}+y^{2}\\y^{2}=50^{2}-32.5^{2}\\y=\sqrt{2500-1056.25}\\ y =\sqrt{1443} \approx 37.99

Therefore, the distance from the pitcher's mound and to second base is 37.99 approximately.

<em>(this results make sense, because the diagonals of a square intersect at half, that means all bases have the same distance from pitcher's mound, so the second way to find the distance asked in the question is just using theory)</em>

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

Answers are below in bold

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A = 1/2bh          Use this equation to find the area of each triangular base

A = 1/2(8)(6)         Multiply

A = 1/2(48)           Multiply

A = 12cm²           Area of each triangular base

2) A = L x W        Use this equation to find the area of the bottom rectangular face

A = 20 x 8          Multiply

A = 160 cm²       Area of the bottom rectangular face

3) A = L x W        Use this equation to find the area of the back rectangular face

A = 20 x 6          Multiply

A = 120 cm²       Area of the back rectangular face

4) A = L x W        Use this equation to find the area of the sloped rectangular face

A = 20 x 10         Multiply

A = 200 cm²      Area of the sloped rectangular face

5) To find the total surface area of the triangular prism, add together all of the numbers.

A = 12 + 12 + 160 + 120 + 200       Add

A = 504 cm²       Total area of the triangular prism
