The distance from home plate to the fence in dead center in wrigley field is 400 feet. How far is it from the fence in dead center to third base? How far is it from the fence in dead center to second base?

Respuesta :

the sides of  a baseball field are 90 feet.
That means that a line from 3rd base to the pitcher's mound is (1/2) * sqrt (2*90^2) = 63.64 feet
The distance between the pitcher's mound and the plate is also the same
distance between pitcher's mound and homerun wall = 400 - 63.64 = 336.36 feet
Distance to 3rd base = sqrt(63.64^2 + 336.36^2)  = 342.33 feet

hope this helps

The distance from the fence in the dead centre to the third base is 342.33 feet.

What is subtraction?

Subtraction is a mathematical operation that reflects the removal of things from a collection. The negative symbol '-' represents subtraction.

As we know that the sides of a baseball field are 90 feet. Therefore, the distance between the 3rd base to the pitcher's mound can be written as,

[tex]\text{Distance between 3rd base to pitcher's mound}=(1/2) \times \sqrt {(2\times 90^2)} = 63.64 feet[/tex]

Now, the distance between the pitcher's mound and the plate is also the same. therefore, the distance between the pitcher's mound and homerun wall can be written as

[tex]\text{Distance between pitcher's mound and homerun wall} = 400 - 63.64 = 336.36\rm\ feet[/tex]

Further, the Distance to 3rd base can be written as,

[tex]\text{Distance to 3rd base}= \sqrt{(63.64^2 + 336.36^2)} = 342.33\rm\ feet[/tex]

Hence, the distance from the fence in the dead centre to the third base is 342.33 feet.
