    Answer: 127.28 feet

    Explanation: So, you have a field with a side lengths (L) of 90'. What is the distance to 2nd base?

    In this case, the distance is the hypotenuse (H)

    The pythagorean theorem is: A² + B² = C²

    In this case, it will look like 90² + 90² = H²

    then we get 8,100 + 8,100 = H²

    16,200 = H²

    √16,200 = H

    127.28 = H = distance to 2nd base
