This problem can be seen as a rectangle triangle where the vertices are:
Vertice 1: home plate
Vertice 2: First base
Vertice 3: second base.
Right angle between vertice 1 and 2 and vertice 2 and 3.
Distance between each base in 90 '.
Calculating then the distance between home plate and second base we have:
d = root ((90) ^ 2 + (90) ^ 2)
d = 127.28 feets
answer:
the distance between home plate and second base is 127.28 feets
That's correct. Now you gotta plug in -5 in for x and get both angles.
