Suppose you have a rectangular shipping box that measures 30 cm × 15 cm × 20 cm. What is the longest length of a 1 cm diameter wooden dowel that could fit inside the box? (round to the nearest whole centimeter)

PLEASE HURRY

the box is cuboid in shape.

Longest wooden dowel that could fit the box is equal to length of diagonal of cuboid

length of diagonal of cuboid = sqrt(l^2+b^2+h^2)= sqrt(1525)

ngest wooden dowel that could fit the box is equal = 39.05 = 39 cm
