Answer:

127.3 feet.

Explanation:

The line from first base to third base is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the right angle at home base.

Since this is a right triangle, we will use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the hypotenuse.

So, let a = one side and let b = the other side of the right triangle. And, let c = the hypotenuse.

The Pythagorean Theorem is:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2.

So, c= sqrt(a^2 + b^2)

And we have: c= sqrt(90^2 + 90^2)

= sqrt(8100 + 8100) = sqrt(16,200)

= 127.3 ft.

Conclusion: The distance from first base to third base is 127.3 ft, (approximately).
