How to figure:

The distance between home plate and second base is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs have length 90 feet. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance is 16200 squared , or approximately 127.3 feet. Example: 90 x 90 x 2 = 16200 squared equals 127.27922

The first step, after putting home plate down, is to measure from home to second. Then mark where first and third should go based on home and second.

To convert decimal fractions of an inch to fractions of an inch.

Take the decimal fraction of feet and divide by 0.08333 (1/12th) and this will give you inches and decimals of an inch.

For example - 6.37 feet. Take the 0.37 feet and divide by 0.0833 = 4.44 inches so for 6.37 ft. we can also say 6 ft.- 4.44 in.

Now take the 0.44 in. and round it down to 0.4 which is 4/10"

We can now say 6.37' approximatly equals 6' - 4 4/10"


For fractions of an inch other than tenths, take the decimal remainder of inches and divide by:- 0.125 for the number of eighths

0.0625 for the number of sixteenths

0.03125 for the number of thirty-seconds

0.015625 for the number of sixty-fourths, and so on.

For example - 4.382 inches. For eighths, divide the remainder, 0.382 by 0.125 and the answer is 3.056 so the fraction is a bit over 3 eighths, therefore the answer ends up as approx. 4 3/8"
