A baseball diamond is a square with sides
measuring 90 feet. If the pitcher's mound is
60 feet from home plate, how far would the
pitcher need to throw the ball to reach
second base?



The subject is the Pythagorean method and I’m confused on what I should be figuring out is all

Respuesta :

PHG

Step-by-step explanation:

using Pythagoras formula

a²+b²=c²

HOWEVER since the 90 feet is longer

it would be rearranged

90²-60²

8100-3600 is 4500

square root for 4500 is 67.1ft

Hence ,square root for 4500 is 67.1ft

What is square root?
