Since the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees, you can create the equation (x-5)+(2x+1)+(3x-8)=180, which can be simplified to 6x-12=180. That means the value of x is 32. That means the 9 ball is at 27 degrees, the 4 ball is at 65 degrees, and the 5 ball is at 88 degrees. Based on the angles, the farthest distance would be between balls 9 and 4.
