A shortstop is standing in the base path between second and third base when she fields the ball. She is 30 feet from 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

Since the field is square, the distance from second base to first base would be equal to the distance from third base to first base. Therefore, the shortstop needs to throw the ball a distance of 30 feet, rounded to the nearest tenth.
