Question 270654: On a softball diamond the bases are 60 feet apart and meet to form right angles. A base runner is standing on first when the batter hits a long fly ball down the right field line. The base runner takes off for second, rounds second, sprints for third, and slides headfirst into third. What a slide! However, it was a foul ball. So the runner gets up, and jogs straight across the infield back to first. How far did the runner run on this play?

1st run = 60
2nd run = 60
Back = sqrt(60^2 + 60^2) = 84.85 feet
Total = 204.85 feet
