Answer:

9.8 Inch

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner of the box is the longest diagonal of the box.

For a rectangular prism:

Length of the Longest diagonal =\sqrt{ l^2+h^2+w^2}

Therefore:

Length of the pencil=\sqrt{ 8^2+4^2+4^2}

=\sqrt{96}\\=9.8$ inch(correct to  the nearest tenth of an inch)

Answer: length of pencil is 9.8 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pencil fits perfectly from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner of the box. This is the diagonal of the box(not the diagonal of a face). To determine the length of the pencil, we would determine the length of the diagonal of the box. The formula formula is

d = √(l² + w² + h²)

Where

d = diagonal = length of pencil

w = width = 4 inches

h = height = 4 inches

l = length = 8 inches

Therefore,

d = √(4² + 4² + 8²) = √96

d = 9.8 inches

Suppose a triangle has sides 3, 4, and 6. Which of the following must be true? A: The triangle in question is not a right triang
Talja [164]

Answer:

A: The triangle in question is not a right triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is a right triangle, then the Pythagorean theorem would hold

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + 4^2 = 6^2

9+16 = 36

25 = 36

This is not true so this is not a right triangle
