One of the most stressful things about moving is wondering if your big furniture is going to fit through your door.
00:07
So let's say that you have a round table, and your round table has a diameter, it's a big table, a diameter of 7 .5 feet.
00:21
Now most doorways are not 7 .5 feet wide.
00:25
So you're not going to be able to fit this table into your door straight on.
00:32
You're going to have to try tilting it on a diagonal.
00:37
But still, you don't want to carry this heavy wooden table up to your door, up the stairs, and then realize it doesn't fit.
00:44
So measuring ahead of time is a good idea.
00:50
So when i have a doorway, usually doorways are rectangular in shape, and let's assume that this doorway is three feet wide.
00:59
So we're going to cut a diagonal across this doorway.
01:04
This diagonal will represent our table, and we want that to be at least 7 .5 feet wide, probably a little bit more.
01:13
So we're looking for the height of the door.
01:19
How tall would this door have to be if it's 3 feet wide in order to fit a 7 .5 foot diameter table tilted on a diagonal through into the home? so let's set up an inequality.
01:32
We're going to use pythagrin theorem.
01:34
So we know that leg squared plus leg squared equals hypotenuse squared...
