If a pool table measures 4 ft by 8 ft, what is the diagonal length from the back edge of the top left pocket to the bottom right pocket to the nearest tenth?

Respuesta :

the diagonal will be 8.94 for the pool table. you have to use the Pythagorean theorem

The diagonal length from the back edge of the top left pocket to the bottom right pocket is 8.9 ft.

What is the diagonal of rectangle?

d = √(w² + l²)

where d: is the diagonal of rectangle

w: width of the rectangle

l : length of the rectangle

For given example,

a pool table measures 4 ft. by 8 ft.

We have the dimensions of rectangular pool table with

length (l) = 8 ft.

width (w) = 4 ft.

By using the formula of the diagonal of the rectangle,

⇒ d = √(w² + l²)

⇒ d = √(4² + 8²)

⇒ d = √(16 + 64)  

⇒ d = √80

d = 8.9 ft.

Therefore, the diagonal length from the back edge of the top left pocket to the bottom right pocket is 8.9 ft.
