Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
The shortest distance between first and third base is a straight line.
This then creates a right triangle with hypotenuse h being the straight line and the legs being the distance from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd bases.
Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle , then
h² = 90² + 90² = 8100 + 8100 = 16200 ( take square root of both sides )
h = ≈ 127.279...
The shortest distance is 127 ft (to the nearest whole number )

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) if to re-write the given equation into slope-interception form, then:
the slope of the given line is 5/2;
2) according to the rule of perpendicular, the required slope should be:
s*(5/2)=-1;
3) if to solve this equation (s*5/2=-1), then s=-2/5 or -0.4.
