Depends on how far apart the bases are on the basepaths. It's a right triangle so the sum of the squares of the distance between first and second and from second to third should equal the square of the distance from first to third. if the bases are about 90 feet apart the distance is about 127.3 feet. Of Course, if you follow the basepaths the distance is 180 feet. And you thought you'd never use geometry in real life!

∙ 8y agoWhile the first and third base bags are placed so that they lie inside the 90 foot square formed by the bases, the second base bag is placed so that its center (unlike first, third and home) coincides exactly with the "point" of the ninety-foot infield square. Thus, although the "points" of the bases are 90 feet apart, the physical distance between each successive pair of base markers is closer to 88 feet.

∙ 14y agoTo 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 far is second base to first?
The distance between first base and second base is 90 feet.
What is the distance from 1st base to 3rd with 80 foot bases?
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 with 70 ft. bases, it would be 99 feet.

How many feet is it to throw a ball from third to first base?
Bases are different distances apart at different levels of play in baseball. Here is how you can find the distance across the diamond (home to second, or first to third) on any field: What is the distance between bases? Square that answer (multiply it by itself). Double that answer. Find the square root of that answer. The answer you get will be the distance from home to second or from first to third.
Formula to find distance from third to first?
The distance from base to base is 90 feet. 3-1 gives you 2 of those 90 foot distances between first and third, so your answer is 90*2, or 180 feet.
How Much is it between Home Plate and Third Base?
The distance between third and home is 90 feet. First to second, and second to third are also 90 feet each.
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 first to third in high school baseball?
from first base straight across the infield to third base is 127 ft 4. Since one base is the same 90 ft from the next one, the distance from home plate to second base is also 127 ft 4 in.
