· Timmins Bears' star player Bud is edging away from first base, trying to steal second. Peter the pitcher for the Red Barons, knows that if Bud is more than 15 ft from first
base, he can throw the ball to first in time to get Bud out. Glancing over his shoulder,
Peter observes Bud at an angle of 12° away from first base. The baseball diamond is
square, with each side length equal to 90 ft. Peter is equidistant from all bases.
