Answer:c=127.3ft

Step-by-step explanation:Divide the square into two on the line between 1st and 3rd base, you now have two right triangles, pick one. The triangle has two legs and a hypotenuse, the length of the hypotenuse is the distance you need. The legs are 90ft long and you need to use the Pythagorean theorem. 90 squared plus 90 squared equals c squared, so 8100+8100=c^2, 16200=c^2, c=127.27922061
