    The length of the diagonal will be given by:

    cos θ=adjacent/hypotenuse

    θ=35°

    hypotenuse=h

    adjacent=80 inches=6.66667 ft

    thus;

    cos 35=6.66667/h

    h=6.66667/cos35

    h=8.1385 ft

    diagonal=8.1385 ft

    we conclude that the table will through the door diagonally.
