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.

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.
