A cove base allows covering of uneven floor edges at the wall such as unevenly cut vinyl flooring. It also adjust for unlevel flooring along long expanses of wall because the cove can flex with the "ups and downs" and flexes against the floor almost like a squeegee tight fit up against glass. Cove base also "fills" the corner and therefore is good to keep the corner clean and not allowing dirt to build up in the corner.

Staight base is a more clean modern look than cove base, but requires much more carefull installs of flooring at the wall to floor corner. Straight base does not cover errors as well as cove base, and it does go up and down with an unlevel floor as well as a a cove base. It works well with low pile carpet because the bottom edge of the base "tucks down" into the edge of the carpet. The carpet closes the gap between the base and the carpet. Straight base is less frequently specified for hard floors.

You could give it a shot. Try using a spray paint for plastic. Or, use a multipurpose primer to adhere to the cove base. If the adheres ok, you are able to use a regular latex paint.

No because a straight angle is 180 degrees and complimentary angles are 90 degrees, you would have to use negatives and you don't use negatives in geometry:)

How do you figure the distance between first base and third base in a straight line?

This involves a bit of geometry. First of all, a baseball diamond including the four bases, first base, second base, third base and home plate is a square. To find the exact distance in a straight line between first base and third base (or home plate to second base, for that matter), simply use half the diamond by using the right triangle formed by two of the base lines (each of which is 90 feet in a straight line between the bases. That leaves the hypotenuse of your right triangle (a straight line between first base and third base) to be determined. Geometry will give you your answer. Square each of the base lines (multiply each by itself), add them together, and then determine the square root of your total. That amount will be your hypotenuse, or the straight line distance between first base over to third base (the answer is the same from home plate to second base). I'm not going to tell you what the exact answer is, but you will find that it's slightly more than 127 feet.

How do you draw an equilateral triangle?

See the link. Alternatively, just use a straight edge and protractor, and make each interior angle 60 degrees (the side lengths will automatically be equal). Draw the base line with a straight edge, marking the desired length of the base. Adjust your compass to match the length of the base. From each end of the base, use the compass to swing an arc to the side you want the vertex. The intersection of the arcs marks the vertex; using the straightedge, draw the remaining two sides, connecting the vertex to both ends of the base line.
