A baseball diamond is 30yds each side. if u through a ball from second base to home plate how far would you through the ball.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Apply the Pythagorean Theorem:
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = distance between home plate and 2nd base
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 30^2 + 30^2
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 900 + 900
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 1800
\n" ); document.write( "x = sqrt(1800)
\n" ); document.write( "x = sqrt(10*10*3*3*2)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 30sqrt(2) yards (exact answer)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x = 42.43 yards
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "x = 127.28 feet\r
