Answer:

29.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the space diagonal can be found to be the root of the squares of the three orthogonal edge lengths. For a cube, those edge lengths are all the same, so the diagonal length is ...

d = √(17^2 + 17^2 +17^2) = 17√3 ≈ 29.4 . . . . cm

_____

Consider a rectangular prism with edge lengths a, b, c. Then the face diagonal of the face perpendicular to edge "a" has length ...

(face diagonal)^2 = (b^2 +c^2)

and the space diagonal has length ...

(space diagonal)^2 = a^2 + (face diagonal)^2 = a^2 +b^2 +c^2

So, the length of the space diagonal is ...

space diagonal = √(a^2 +b^2 +c^2)

when the prism is a cube, these are all the same (a=b=c). This is the formula we used above.

Answer:

The answer is (Choice C) It is just right.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, so the complete question is below:

Kermit's favorite iced tea is made with 15 tea bags in every 2 liters of water. Peggy made a 12-liter batch of iced tea with 90 tea bags. What will Kermit think of Peggy's iced tea? Choose 1 answer: (Choice A) It is too strong. (Choice B) It is too weak. (Choice C) It is just right.

Now, to find which of the choice is correct.

So, we find first the unit rate of Peggy's iced tea bags per liter:

If, Peggy made a 12-liter batch of iced tea with 90 tea bags.

Then, Peggy would made a 1-liter batch of iced tea with = $\frac{90}{12} =7.5\ tea\ bags.$

Now, to get the unit rate of Kermit's iced tea bags per liter:

If, Kermit made a 2 liter of iced tea with 15 tea bags.

Then, Kermit would made a 2 liter of iced tea with = $\frac{15}{2} =7.5\ tea\ bags.$

Thus, the quantity of tea bags per liter is same of both Kermit and Peggy.

Hence, Kermit will think of Peggy's iced tea that it is just right.

Therefore, the answer is (Choice C) It is just right.
