A shortstop is standing in the base path between second base and third base when she fields the ball she is 34 feet from the second base and needs to make the throw to first base. Assuming the field is square, how far does she need to throw the ball round your answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Unfortunately, I cannot visualize or analyze images. However, I can provide you with a solution based on the information provided.

If the shortstop is standing in the base path between second base and third base, we can assume that the distance from the shortstop to second base is equivalent to the distance from the shortstop to third base. Let's call this distance "x".

Now, we know that the shortstop is 34 feet away from second base. Therefore, the distance from the shortstop to third base (or the throw to first base) would also be 34 feet.

Thus, the shortstop needs to throw the ball a distance of 34 feet to reach first base.
