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 = ≈ 127.279...
The shortest distance is 127 ft (to the nearest whole number )
