Answer:
The dimensions (length x width) of the tablecloth that best fits your requirements will be (66 inches × 66 inches)
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of the square dining table is 200 inches.
Perimeter of a square [tex]=4a[/tex] , where [tex]a[/tex] is the length of side of the square.
So, we will get......
[tex]4a= 200\\ \\ a=\frac{200}{4}=50[/tex]
The edges of the tablecloth extend an extra 8 inches from each side of the table.
That means, the length and width of the tablecloth should be (8+8)= 16 inches more than the edge of the table.
So, the length and width of the tablecloth will be: [tex](50+16)=66[/tex] inches.
Thus, the dimensions (length x width) of the tablecloth that best fits your requirements will be (66 inches × 66 inches)
