Question

Yall plzz helpp I dont want to fail math "what is the longest walking stick that can be placed in the bottom of a truck of length 80 cm and width 60cm"

Answer 1

Given:

Length of the truck = 80 cm

Width of the truck = 60 cm

To find:

The longest walking stick that can be placed in the bottom of a truck.

Solution:

The longest walking stick that can be placed in the bottom of a truck is the diagonal of the truck.

We know that, the diagonal of a rectangle is:

`d=√(l^2+w^2)`

Where, l is the length and w is the width.

Putting
`l=80` and
`w=60`, we get

`d=√((80)^2+(60)^2)`

`d=√(6400+3600)`

`d=√(10000)`

`d=100`

Therefore, the length of the longest walking stick that can be placed in the bottom of a truck is 100 cm.
