Question

your cousin plays baseball. the bases of the infield baseball diamond form a square. the length of segment as is 80 feet. what is the perimeter of the baseball diamond? what is the area of the baseball diamond? use the given information to complete the worksheet. area formulas: - parallelogram: $a = bh$ - square: $a = s^{2}$ - triangle: $a=\frac{1}{2}bh$ - trapezoid: $a=\frac{1}{2}h(b_{1}+b_{2})$

Explanation:

Step1: Recall perimeter formula for square

The perimeter $P$ of a square with side - length $s$ is $P = 4s$. Given $s = 80$ feet.
$P=4\times80$

Step2: Calculate perimeter

$P = 320$ feet

Step3: Recall area formula for square

The area $A$ of a square with side - length $s$ is $A=s^{2}$. Given $s = 80$ feet.
$A = 80^{2}$

Step4: Calculate area

$A=6400$ square feet

Answer:
