Expert Solution
Step 1

The distance from the home base to first base is 60 feet, and first base to second base is 60 feet.

The objective is to find the coordinates of the home plate, first base, second and third base.

Sketch the figure as shown below:

The figure shows all the vertices of the base softball diamond.
