Question 71112: the distance from first to second base in an indoor baseball field is 33 feet less than the corresponding distance in a softball field. The square bounded by the bases of an indoor baseball field diamond is 2871 feet less than that bounded by bases of a softball diamond. Find the distance from one base to the other in an indoor baseball field. Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (X-33)^2+2871=X^2
X^2-66X+1089+2871=X^2
X^2-X^2-66X=-1089-2871
-66X=-3960
X=-3960/-66
X=60 FEET FROM FIRST TO SECOND BASE FOR THE SOFTBALL DIAMOND
