How do you figure the distance between first base and third base in a straight line?

This involves a bit of geometry. First of all, a Baseball diamond including the four bases, first base, second base, third base and home plate is a square. To find the exact distance in a straight line between first base and third base (or home plate to second base, for that matter), simply use half the diamond by using the right triangle formed by two of the base lines (each of which is 90 feet in a straight line between the bases. That leaves the hypotenuse of your right triangle (a straight line between first base and third base) to be determined. Geometry will give you your answer. Square each of the base lines (multiply each by itself), add them together, and then determine the square root of your total. That amount will be your hypotenuse, or the straight line distance between first base over to third base (the answer is the same from home plate to second base). I'm not going to tell you what the exact answer is, but you will find that it's slightly more than 127 feet.

What is a figure with 3 straight lines and 3 straight angles?
A straight angle is 180°, so if there is 180° between the first line and the second, and 180° between the second and the third, then the result is a straight line.
What is the straight line distance from third to first?
In little league, where the bases are 60 feet apart, the distance between first base and third base is 84.85 feet. In MLB and leagues where the bases are 90 feet apart, the distance between first base and third base is 127.29 feet.
What is the air distance between Denver and Midway Airport?
The distance between the above places is 492 miles. This distance is point to point straight distance as seen on the map. The actual distance covered by a flight may vary according to the flight path chosen. Also this is not the airport to airport distance.
What is the distance in meters between Russia and London?
First, Russia is a very big country so it would be very helpful if you had a city in mind. If you're thinking about the capital, Moscow, then the straight line distance between London and Moscow is 7668 kilometers = 7668000 meters. The closest to London most important city in Russia is Kaliningrad. The straight line distance between London and Kaliningrad is 6884 kilometers = 6884000 meters.

What is the throwing distance between 1st base and 3rd base?
You can find the distance between first and third on any baseball or softball field by using the following formula: A squared plus B squared equals C squared. A is the distance between home and first base B is the distance between home and third base C is the distance between first base and third base. So, in MLB, where the distances between bases is 90 ft., it would be 127 feet 3 inches.
What is the distance between second and home?
The distance of 90 feet (between home and first) is the distance of the middle of the plate and the middle of first base.
How many feet from home plate to first base in MLB?
The distances between the plates are 90 feet. The distance between home plate and first base is 90 feet. First base to second base is 90 feet. Second base to third base is 90 feet. Third base to home plate is also 90 feet. Additionally, the distance between first and third base straight across is 127 feet.
What is the distance from the state of Washington to mt. Rushmore?
The distance between the above mentioned places is 628.8 miles approximately. The distance is straight path from one place to another place. There might be slight difference between the actual distance and the above mentioned distance because of the route chosen.
Distance between first and third?
To do this you would use Pathagreon's Theory. 602 + 602 = (square root of) 7200 = ~84.85 feet. This represents that straight line between the bases. It measure from the tip of one bag to the tip of the other bag.
How do you find the distance between 5 cities?
First, you have to specify what cities you want to find the distance between, and then you can find the distance between each one, and finally add all the distance together, to give you the total.
