Question

In a softball game, how far must the catcher throw to second base?
60 ft
60 ft
feet
60 ft

Expert Solution

Step 1

The line from home plate to second base can be considered as hypotenuse of right triangle. The two sides of the triangle are each 60 feet. Hence, Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of the hypotenuse
