A squared plus B squared equals C squared. You are looking at an equilateral right triangle. The angle between the line from home plate to first base and from first base to second base is 90 degrees. The distance from home plate to first base and from first base to second base is the same. Using this formula, you can find the distance from home plate to second base no matter what the distance between bases is. (By the way, this works out to about 98.99 feet.)

Actually, the formula is: The square root of A squared plus B squared equals C squared.

How far apart is it to home plate to 2nd base in little league?

Since various leagues have different size baseball diamonds, you can use the following formula: What is the distance between first base and second base? For example, 60 ft. Square that number (multiply it by itself). For example, 60 x 60 = 3600. Double that answer. For example, 3600 x 2 = 7200. Find the square root of that answer (most calculators have the square root function). The answer will be the distance between home and second, also the distance between first and third. For example, 84.85 feet, or 84 feet 10 inches.
