Actually, no. The Pythagorean Theorem is all you need to answer the OP.
Here's a fun thing. This is also the distance between the outside far corners of 1st and 3rd base. If this distance is short (long), the distance from the point of home plate to the center of second base will be long (short) by the same amount. If it's not, you have other problems such as not placing the bases as noted by
mbcrowder.
