Question

Marianne’s box for camp measures 24 inches by 24 inches by 14 inches. Will her field hockey stick , which is 1 yard long , fit in the box ? Explain your answer

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

1 yard is approximately 3 feet. The hypotenuse of the base (24 x 24) of the box is 33.94 inches. Then the hypotenuse of the Base's hypotenuse and the height of 14 inches is 36.72 inches, which is just over 3 feet, so the stick should fit.
