Answer: 90 feet

Explanation:

Since the baseball diamond is shaped like a square, all sides are equal in length.

Let's denote the length of each side by x.

The perimeter of a square is the sum of the lengths of all four sides, so we can write:

4x = 360

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x = 90

Therefore, each side of the baseball diamond is 90 feet long.
