Question 763045
The distance between the bases in mega-baseball is 124 ft. Ashlee made a throw from the home plate to first base to get Mark out and Sally threw directly to third base to get Sam out. How far did the ball travel in those two throws? __________ 
Draw the picture.
home to 1st: 124 ft
---
1st to 3rd: 124*sqrt(2)
===========================
Total 124(1+sqrt(2)) = 124*2.4142 = 199.36 ft.
==============================
