1 answer:
The longest line segment that can be drawn in a right rectangular prism that is 14cm long, 13cm wide and 11cm tall is 19.1cm.
<h3>What is a right rectangular prism?</h3>A right rectangular prism is a three dimensional solid shape formed by 6 rectangles.
it is also called the cuboid.
Analysis:
The diagonal of the face of the prism with dimensions 14cm long and 13cm wide is the longest line segment that can be drawn.
Since rectangles have 90° on each vertex, we can use Pythagoras theorem to calculate for the length of the diagonal.

Greetings from Brasil...
According to the statement of the question, we can assemble the following system of equation
X = 7 + 3Y i
X + Y = 75 ii
So, multiplying ii by -1 and adding with i
X = 7 + 3Y
- X - Y = - 75
- Y = 7 + 3Y - 75
4Y = 68
Y = 17
for X we will use ii:
X + Y = 75
X + 17 = 75
X = 58
The smaller number is: 17
