A squared + B squared = C squared
90 ft. sq. + 90 ft. sq. = C sq.
8100 + 8100 = C sq.
16200= C sq.
C = 127.279 ft. or 127 ft. and 3.35 inches

It took awhile to find a source to back my answer up but I finally found a decent source.
The answer is 127 ft. and 3-3/8 in.
EDIT:
Since furter ignorance is being spread try this out.
Simple Algebra (Pythagorean theorem) if you think of 1st base, 2nd base and home plate forming a triangle. A squared plus B squared will equal C squared. Try it out 90 feet squared plus 90 feet squared will equal 16,200. Now all you have to do is get the squre root of that to get the answer which is 127.279... feet OR 127 feet and 3-3/8 inches.

According to the Pythagorean theorem cbrown is correct.
That is the correct hypotenuse. 127.2795 feet (rounded to the nearest 10,000th)

180 feet. It is 90 feet from one base to another so 90+90=180 feet because second and home plate are two bases apart either way.

120 feet, 60 feet from plate to mound, 60 feet from mound to 2nd base.
