You are told that in a billiards shot, the cue ball was shot at the eight ball, which was 8 inches away. As a result, the eight ball rolled into a pocket, which was 6 inches away.
Knowing that the angle made with the path of the cue ball and the resulting path of the eight ball is larger than 90°, it can be determined that the original distance from the cue ball to the pocket was greater than ____ inches
DISCLAIMER:
I know the answer is 10 but I don't know why, I thought I did the math right but I got 100. I'll give brainliest if you explain it well!

Respuesta :

Answer:It is greater than 10 because as you add both distances from the image its greater than 10 by a bit, looking at  the angle it gives you a bigger perspective in how far the cue ball is from the pocket

Its basically 8+6 which equals 14 but adding the way the angle is going the distance is shorter than 14 but greater than 10

Answer:

10 inches
