The infield of a baseball field is a square

Mathematics
1 answer:
AnnZ [28]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

  106.1 ft/s

Step-by-step explanation:

You know the diagonal of a square is √2 times the length of one side, so the distance from 3rd to 1st is 90√2 feet ≈ 127.2792 ft.

The speed is the ratio of distance to time:

  speed = distance/time = 127.2972 ft/(1.2 s) ≈ 106.1 ft/s.

_____

In case you have never figured or seen the computation of the diagonal of a square (the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle), consider the square with side lengths 1. The diagonal will cut the square into halves that are isosceles right triangles with leg lengths 1. Then the Pythagorean theorem can be used to find the diagonal length d:

  d² = 1² + 1²

  d² = 2

  d = √2

Since this is the diagonal for a side length of 1, any other side length will serve as a scale factor for this value. A square with a side length of 90 ft will have a diagonal measuring 90√2 ft.
