Let the distance be x

We know, side = 90 feet 

All angle of square are 90°.So, by phythogoras theorem 

H² = P² +B²

x² = 90² + 90²

x² = 8100 + 8100

x² = 16200

Taking square root of both sides, we get

x = 127.27

 

Thus, distance from home plate to second base to the nearest foot is 127.27 feet
