Need Mid Point Help

If a foul pole is 310' to the west and the other foul pole is 310' to the north. What is the feet at the midpoint between the two foul poles considering a straight line between the two poles.

Also, what is the footage from home plate to that midpoint between the 310' foul poles?

North and West are not opposite directions. Should it be north and south or east and west?

Are the directions from the home plate?

it's a triangle with 2 310' sides and a 90 deg angle between them
a^2 + b^2 = c^2, so the length between foul poles is 438', mid point 219'
the distnce from home plate to the mid point is the same as foul pole to mid point

Do you want it in feet or inches?
