The given value which is 90 foot sides represents the measurement of one side of the baseball diamond. The length from the 3rd base to 1st base  is the diagonal of the square. The formula would be as follows:

diagonal = √s^2 + s^2
diagonal = s√2
diagonal = (90)√2
diagonal = 127.28 ft <------- OPTION C
