The document provides directions for a math problem involving calculating the distance from home plate to second base on a little league baseball field. It explains that the distance between each base is 60 feet and asks the student to sketch the infield, outline a right triangle, and use the Pythagorean theorem, special right triangle formulas, or trigonometry to solve for the distance from home plate to second base. The student is asked to state which method they used and describe the steps taken to solve the problem.

Imagine youre
watching a little league
game where the field is
much smaller than in
the major leagues.
Determine the distance
that the catcher has to
throw the ball from
home plate to 2nd. You
know that as you round
the bases, the distance
between each base is
60 feet. Knowing these
lengths, sketch the
infield of a little league
field and outline a right
triangle. Using any of
the methods we
learned today, solve for
the distance from home
plate to second. You
can use the
Pythagorean Theorem,
formulas for special
right triangles, or
trigonometry.
Whichever method you

Sketch-to-Stretch

State what method you


used to solve and
describe the steps you
took to solve the
problem.
