Question

Many airlines have limits on the size of carry-on baggage that a passenger may have. One airline's rule is that l + w + h must be less than 50 inches, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height of a bag. Will a bag with the following dimensions be allowed?

l = 20 inches
w = 18 inches
h = 11 inches

yes
no

Answer 1

yes it is. its under 50 inches

Explanation:

Answer 2

A bag is allowed only if the sum of its dimensions is less than 50 inches.

Since you're given the dimension, you have to sum them, and check if the result is less than 50. The sum is

`20+18+11 = 38+11 = 49`

Since 49 is less than 50, the bag is allowed.
