A baseball diamond is a square that is 90 feet on each side. What is the distance from home to second base
Suppose a certain baseball diamond is a square 60 feet on a side. The pitching rubber is located 40.5 feet from home plate on a line joining home plate and second base. (a) How far is it from the pitching rubber to first base? (b) How far is it from the pitching rubber to second base? (c) If a pitcher faces home plate, through what angle does he need to turn to face first base? (a) The distance from the...
A baseball diamond is a square with side 90 ft. A batter hits
the ball and runs toward first base with a speed of 26 ft/s.
(a) At what rate is his distance from second
base decreasing when he is halfway to first base?
ft/s
(b) At what rate is his distance from third base increasing at the
same moment?
ft/s
In major league baseball, the pitcher's mound is 60 feet from the batter. If a pitcher throws a 86 mph fastball, how much time elapses from when the ball leaves the pitcher's hand until the ball reaches the batter? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
A baseball diamond is a square with side lengths of 90 ft. A batter hits the ball and runs toward first base at a rate of 26 ft/s. At what rate is the distance between the batter and second base decreasing when the batter is half way to first base? Let u be the distance between the batter and first base, y be the distance between first base and second base, and z be the distance from second base to...

A softball diamond is a square with sides of 60 feet long. How far is home plate to second base? Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.60Home plate, first base, and second base form a right-angled triangle, with home plate to second as the hypotenuse. Call that distance h then h^2 = 60^2 + 60^2 etc.
A Baseball Diamond is a square 90ft on a side. A player runs from first base to second base at a rate of 16 ft/sec.-At what rate is the player's distance from third base changing when the player is 30ft from first base?
Solve the problem. Please show all work. Thanks you.
Baseball players are using a baseball diamond that is a square
90 ft on a side. A player runs from first base to second at a rate
of 16 ft/sec.
a) At what rate is the player's distance from third base
changing when the player is 30 ft from first base?
b) At what rates are angles (see the figure) changing at that
time?
c) The player slides into second base...
