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 )

Hi there!
Looks like a lot of work is going on here.
Let's start by solving this equation for the x.
Step 1) Add -20y to both sides.
Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.
Final Answer:
Now, let's solve for y.
Step 1) Add -5x to both sides.
Step 2) Divide both sides by 20.
Final Answer:
Hope this helps! :D
Hint - When you have two variables in an equation, and you want to solve for one, the other will end up in your answer. :)
