The largest rectangular box that Renee's father can find has a base that is 28 inches by 18

inches. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to determine if Renee's 34-inch bat will lie across the
diagonal of the bottom of the box.

Answer:

No, it won't

Explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

28^2 + 18^2 = 1108

You gotta find the square root of 1108 and it would be 33.3 so no, it won't be able to lie across diagonally :)
