REC WHAT'S NEW LET'S SOLVE Arlo is enjoying his time with the Baseball team in his school. The team is also active in their social responsibility to the community by doing a lot of community service. There is one new ball field being created and the team was asked to help design the infield so that it has the correct dimensions. When Arlo and one of the players, JJ, arrived in the field, they measured the distance from home plate to first base. It measures 67 feet. "That isn't correct," JJ tells Arlo. "The area of the infield for league should be 4900 square feet. This measurement is inaccurate. We have to help them fix it." What is inaccurate about the 67 feet? Arlo is puzzled. Does it have to be a longer distance or a shorter one? To figure this problem out, Arlo will need to use his knowledge of squares and square roots. This lesson will expand upon what you learned in the previous lesson. Then you can help Arlo figure this problem out at the end of the lesson.
