The softball diamond forms 2 right triangles when a line is drawn from home to second base. Use the legnth of one side as the legnth for the legs and substitute into the Pythagorean Thereom.
ROUND TO THE NEAREST TENTH.|||Home to 2st base = 61 ft
1st base to 2nd base = 61 ft
Right angle at 1st base
Home to 2nd base =x
x = sq rt(61^2 + 61^2)|||You already answered this yourself. Use the Pythagorean Thereom.
A虏 + B虏 = C虏|||This would be the same as an isosceles right triangle. It would be 61ft x (square root of 2) = ~86.3ft
This is rounded of course...
