#127.279" (3 d.p.)"#

For this question, you can use Pythagoras' theorem which is:

#a^2 = b^2 + c^2#

If you draw a line from one corner to another corner of the diamond (which is a square), that would be the distance from home to second base.

Therefore,

#a^2 = b^2 + c^2#
#a^2 = 90^2 + 90^2#
#a^2 = 16200#
#a = 127.279" (3 d.p.)"#

If you haven't solved questions with Pythagoras' theorem before, this may be daunting at first.

So if this solution doesn't make sense to you, you can ask me or solve other questions on Pythagoras' theorem. Then, try this question again.

Hope that makes sense!
