At the same moment, the runner on 1st base runs towards 2nd base.
The 3rd baseman wants to throw the ball to the nearest base.
Calculation:
According to the
In given figure, the angle opposite the side from third base to first base is 90.
In given figure, the angle opposite the side from third base to second base is 45.
