Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The shortest distance between first and third base is a straight line.

This then creates a right triangle with hypotenuse h being the straight line and the legs being the distance from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd bases.

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle , then

h² = 90² + 90² = 8100 + 8100 = 16200 ( take square root of both sides )

h = $\sqrt{16200}$ ≈ 127.279...

The shortest distance is 127 ft (to the nearest whole number )
