In tenpin Bowling from center of pin to center of pin, the distance must be 12 inches. This is to form an equilateral triangle on the pin deck. Each ray of the triage is 36 inches. Therefore the distance between the 1 & 7 pin, the distance between the 7 & 10 pin, and the distance between the 1 & 10 pin, should always equal 36 inches.

Nobody was asking you. They were asking somebody who could answer the question.
Standard 10-pin bowling pins are set 12 inches apart, center-to-center.
In tenpin bowling, the correct spacing between pins is 12 inches from pin center to pin center. Therefore there should be 36 inches between the 1 and 7 pin, 36 inches between the 7 and 10 pin, and 36 inches between the 1 and 10 pin. This creates an equilateral triangle on the pin deck.
Each pin is 12 inches from its neighbouring pin in each direction (from the centre of the pin)
between the widest parts of each pins, the width is approx. 8 1/4 inches. depending on the pinsetter's condition.
The width of a tenpin bowling pin, at it's widest point, is 4.5 inches. This is where the bowling ball actually contacts the pin.
