    Ok so I ams assuming that

    from home to 1 is 60

    from 1 to 2 is 60

    from 2 to 3 is 60

    from 3 to home is 60

    so we have a squaer

    from home to second base

    that is a diagonal line through the square

    find the distance

    we see that we have 2 right triangles with legs 60 and 60

    use pythagoren theorem to find hypotonuse (longest side)

    a^2+b^2=c^2

    60^2+60^2=c^2

    3600+3600=c^2

    7200=c^2

    square root both sides

    60√2=c

    84.85=c

    about 85 ft
