The distance from one corner pocket to the diagonally opposite corner pocket is 8.9feet
Explanation:
length = 8feet
width = 4 feet
one corner pocket to the diagonally opposite corner pocket = diagonal of thetable
Diagonal² = length² + width²
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Diagonal = }\sqrt[]{(length^2+width^2_{}}) \\ =\text{ }\sqrt[]{(8)^2+(4)^2} \\ =\sqrt[]{64+16}\text{ } \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]diagonal=\sqrt[]{80}\text{ =8.94feet}[/tex]To the nearest tenth = 8.9feet
Therefore, the distance from one corner pocket to the diagonally opposite corner pocket is 8.9feet
