Question

Giselle is building a small baseball infield for her brother. The infield should be in the shape of a square. Each side of the infield,
between bases, measures 30 feet. The distance between home plate and second base, as shown in the picture, is 45 feet.
Which best describes the shape of the baseball field?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

B

for a square diagonal is found by using pythagoras theorem.

(30)²+30²=900+900=1800≠45²

Answer 2

The best describes the shape of the baseball field would be; B Not square (30)² + 30² ≠45².

What is Pythagoras' Theorem?

If ABC is a triangle with AC as the hypotenuse and angle B with 90 degrees then we have:

|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2    

where |AB| = length of line segment AB. (AB and BC are rest of the two sides of that triangle ABC, AC being the hypotenuse).

Giselle is building a small baseball infield for her brother.

The infield should be in the shape of a square.

Each side of the infield, between bases, measures 30 feet.

The distance between home plate and second base, as shown in the picture, is 45 feet.

A square diagonal can be calculated by using the Pythagoras theorem.

|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2    

= (30)² + 30²

= 900 + 900

= 1800

≠45²
