About 120 feet. Or, 90 feet times the square root of 2.
Square. And home plate is a pentagon.
If you drew a line from home plate to first base, first base to second base, second base to third base, and third base to home plate, you would have a square. This is because the distance between those bases is the same (90 feet). A square turned on its side is a diamond.
The baseball term diamond is in reference to the object you would see if you drew a line from home plate to first base, first base to second base, second base to third base, and third base to home plate. Each of these lines would be the same length (90 feet), therefore, the object would look like a square if you were sitting down the left field or right field lines. But if you were sitting in center field or behind home plate, the object would look like a diamond. A diamond is really a square turned on it's side.
baseballThe sport played on a field called a diamond is baseball. The diamond is made up of first base, second base, third base, and home plate, all in a diamond shape.

Square.....AnswerGeometrically speaking ... it is a square some call it a diamond for purposes explained below. A square is a figure with four equal sides and four 90 degree corners. A diamond is a square who's long corner-to-corner axis is arranged perpendicular to the frame of reference (in this case, home plate).The baseball diamond is a square 90 feet on each side, and a 90 degree angle at each base pad. The corner at home plate culminates in the point of home plate which is closest to the catcher, thus making the entirety of home plate (and all other bases, actually) fair territory.
If you are talking about the infield, which is a standard size in all major league stadiums, the square footage would be 8100 square feet. The outfield dimensions vary from stadium to stadium. It is 90 feet from base to base. There are 4 bases that form a square. Therefore 90'x90'=8100 square feet.
Starting at home plate, all the way around in a square, each base is 90 feet apart. Then the pitcher's rubber is 60 feet 6 inches away from home plate.
no, but the plate is a pentagon, the field itself is a diamond
Early professional baseball did not have the home plate we are used to seeing today. In its early years, home plate was a diamond shape.
