Question

Answer this please, I am very stressed.

Answer 1

Given:

The dimensions of a box are 3ft, 3ft and 13 ft.

To find:

The length of the longest flagpole that could be shipped inside the box.

Solution:

We know that the length of longest flagpole that could be shipped inside the box is equal to the length of the diagonal.

`Diagonal=√(l^2+b^2+h^2)`

Where, l is length, b is breadth and h is height.

`Diagonal=√((3)^2+(3)^2+(13)^2)`

`Diagonal=√(9+9+169)`

`Diagonal=√(187)`

`Diagonal\approx 13.67`

Therefore, the longest flagpole that could be shipped is about 13.67 feet long.
