Answer to Problem 62AYU
Solution:
The coordinate of first base is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
The layout of a little league playing field is a square with
A rectangular co-ordinate system on a little league baseball is diamond. The origin is at home plate, the positive
Explanation:
As the home plate is at the origin of the rectangular coordinate then the coordinate of the home plate is origin that means
The first base is at a distance of
The second base is at a distance of
The third base is at a distance of
The below figure shows all the vertices of the Little League Baseball:
