Answer:
127.3 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
A baseball diamond is constructed in a square shape.
The sides are 90 ft each
If a catcher throws a baseball to the shortstop who is half-way between second and third bases, the distance between the third base and the short stop = 1/2(90)
= 45 ft
length of the throw is found using Pythagoras theorem.
Hypothenus ^2 = opposite ^2 + adjacent ^2
= 90^2 + 45^2
Hypothenus = √8100 + 2025
=√10125
= 100.62 ft (approximately)
