What calculation did you use to determine it was 100 ft between home plate and second base if the base paths are 70 ft and home plate to the pitchers rubber is 50 ft

Well, it's approximate. If each base path is 70 ft., the right triangle formed by the pitcher's mound would be very close to a 50-50-70 triangle, since 50^2 + 50^2 = 5000, and 70^ = 4900. So therefore pitcher's mound is approximately equidistant from all points of the square formed by the base paths. If half of a diagonal of the square is 50 ft., the full diagonal is 100 ft.
