The diameter of the plate is 9.24 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us consider the radius to be 'r'

Angle = 120°

Chord length = 8 inches

Chord length = 2rsin(θ/2)

8 = 2r sin(120/2)

8 = 2r sin60°

8/2 = r (√3/2)

4/(√3/2) = r

r = 8/√3

r = 8/1.73

r = 4.62 inches

Diameter of the plate = 2(4.62)

= 9.24 inches

The diameter of the plate is 9.24 inches
