Question

The athletic department's storage closet is 12 feet tall. Will a beam that is 3 * √17 ( 3 times the square root of 17, which is 12.6 ) feet fit in the closet if it was standing perpendicular to the floor? Explain.

Answer 1

No because the beam = 12.6 and the closet is 12ft

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

Its very simple, 12<12.6. So therefore, it wouldn't fit.
