The distance from the home plate to second base in a straight line is required.

The required distance is option A 127.3 feet.

Square

A baseball field is in the shape of a square this means that all corners have the angle [tex]90^{\circ}[/tex]

So, two sides of the square can act as legs of a right triangle and the diagonal can act as the hypotenuse.

A straight line between the home plate and second base would be the diagonal of the square.

The length of each side of the square is 90 feet.

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

[tex]d=\sqrt{90^2+90^2}\\\Rightarrow d=90\sqrt{2}\\\Rightarrow d=127.279\approx 127.3\ \text{feet}[/tex]
