A baseball diamond has 90 feet between bases. A player hits the ball and runs to 1st, 2nd and stops at 3rd base. The player's displacement is

To calculate the player's displacement, we need to find the straight-line distance from the starting point to the final point. In this case, the starting point is home plate, and the final point is third base.
To find the straight-line distance, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
In this scenario, we can consider the distance between each base as the two sides of a right triangle, with the straight-line distance as the hypotenuse. The distance between each base is 90 feet, so we can use this value for both sides of the triangle.
Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
Displacement = √(90^2 + 90^2)
Simplifying further:
Displacement = √(8100 + 8100)
Displacement = √(16200)
Displacement ≈ 127.28 feet
Therefore, the player's displacement is approximately 127.28 feet.
