    See diagram

    so we got a right triangle

    so for a right triangle, when we've got legs a and b and hytponuse c then

    a²+b²=c²

    so the legs are 90 and 90

    hytponuse is distance from home to 2nd

    so

    90²+90²=c²

    8100+8100²=c²

    16200=c²

    sqrt both sides

    90√2=c

    aprox

    127.279ft

    about 127ft

    Assuming that the bases are all within right angles of each other:

    Form a triangle with vertices at home base, first, and second. Home to first is 90ft and first to second is also 90ft.

    Use the formula a^2+b^2=c^2 to find the the missing length.

    90^2+90^2=c^2

    8100+8100=c^2

    16200=c^2

    Sqrt (16200) = c

    c=127.279
