Question

What is the diagonal of a box with a height of 3ft, width of 3ft, and length of 5ft?

a) √19 ft

b)√29 ft

c) √39 ft

d) √59 ft

Answer 1

The diagonal of the box is √43 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagonal of a box can be found using the formula for the diagonal of a right-angled triangle:

√(length² + width² + height²).

In this case, the length is 5ft, the width is 3ft, and the height is 3ft.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get: √(5² + 3² + 3²) = √(25 + 9 + 9) = √43 ft.

However, none of the given answer choices match this value. Therefore, none of the options provided are correct.
