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.
To answer this problem, let p be the price of each scrub. The total bill (t) is the sum of the price of the potting soil (s) and of the 9 scrubs (n). This is depicted in the equation, $11.50 + 9p = $94.75 The value of p from the equation is 9.25. Thus, each scrub costs $9.25. The answer is letter C.
