Question

On a baseball field, the infield are created by the baselines is a square. In a youth baseball league for 9- to 12-year-olds, this area is 3600ft2. The distance between each base in a league foe 4-year-olds is 20 ft less than it is for 9- to 12-year-olds. What is the distance between each base for 4-year-olds?

Answer 1

40

Explanation:

So you need to find out the numbers that make a square as big as this:

`3600ft^(2)`

So you need to square root it

`√(3600)`

You will get 60. Which means that each length is 60. Now subtract 60 by 20

`60-20=40`

So your answer is 40!
