Jill's front door is 42" wide and 84" tall. She purchased a circular table that is 96 inches in diameter. Will the table fit through the front door?
Answered by Ms. Sue
You need to figure the diagonal opening by using the Pythagorean theorem.

Answered by Bob
Find the length of the diagonal in the doorway.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2
42^2 + 84^2 = c^2
1764 + 7056 = c^2
8820 = c^2
93.9 = c

The table will not fit.
