A. We have found that the coordinates of the drainage grate are 40° 51.593' N,

74° 11.936' W, and the coordinates of the home plate are 40° 52.117' N, 74°

11.711' W. So, we have a right triangle with the points (40° 51.593' N, 74°

11.936¹ W; 40° 52.117' N, 74° 11.711' W; 40° 51.593' N, 74° 11.711' W). The

length of the side A (40° 51.593' N, 74° 11.936' W; 40° 51.593' N, 74° 11.711'

W) is 1040.80 ft. The length of the side B (40° 52.117' N, 74° 11.711' W; 40°

51.593¹ N, 74° 11.711' W) is 3180.02 ft. Hence, the straight-line distance is

C = √1040.80² +3180.02² = 3346.01 ft.
