Which table will fit snugly in the corner?

Answer
A
Table 1
B
Table 2
C
Table 3
D
Table 4

Explanation

For a table to fit snugly in a 90° corner, its length, width, and diagonal must form a right triangle, so length² + width² = diagonal². For Table 3, 2.4² + 3.2² = 5.76 + 10.24 = 16, and 4.0² = 16. Therefore, Table 3 has the required measurements.
