You can put this solution on YOUR website!
on a 9’ by 4.5’ table, the ball will go directly into the side pocket without hitting any rails.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "why:
\n" ); document.write( "the upper-left triangle, including point A and the top-center pocket, is isoceles.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "on a 9’ by 6’ table, the ball will go into the top-left corner pocket after hitting 3 rails.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "why:
\n" ); document.write( "the ball will hit the top rail 3 feet from the right side, the ball will then bounce at 45 degrees and hit the right rail in the middle (3 feet from top and 3 feet from bottom), the ball will then bounce at 45 degrees and hit the bottom rail 6 feet from the left side, the ball will then bounce at 45 degrees and enter the top-left pocket.
