Complete triangle ABC by drawing the line segment BC
Complete triangle CDE that is similar to ABC where does do you need to be to create similar triangle label vertex day and mark the angles I have the same measure.
Assign available to name the length of BC and label on your figure to identify the length of a BCDNDE use the dimensions of the pool table some links will include available. Use your similar triangles to set up a portion so that proportion for the unknown verbal the length of bc.
To make a shot you need the cue ball to hit points he find Lake City and use it to identify the location of seat in relation to one of the air pockets for example if she is on the upper bumper your answer might be 15 inches to the right of the leather pocket run your answer to the nearest inch.
