    The shortest distance from where to where?

    The shortest distance from home plate to second base:

    -- - From home plate to first base to second base and back to home plate forms a right triangle with the right angle at first base. The distance from home to second is the hypotenuse, so use the Pythagorean Theorem:

    c² = a² + b² - --> c² = 90² + 90² - --> c² = 8100 + 8100 - --> c = √16200

    ---> c ≈ 127.3.
