Question

A box is a cuboid with dimensions 28 cm by 15 cm by 20 cm all measured

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the box as given is

28 by 15 by 20.

Therefore writing the lower bound and the higher bound for the box dimensions respectively are --

Box :

Length (27.5 , 28.5)

Width (14.5 , 15.5)

Height (19.5 , 20.5)

Similarly writing the disc dimensions with their lower and higher bounds respectively as --

Disc :

Length (1.45 , 1.55)

Width (14.25 , 14.35)

Height (19.25, 19.35)

Therefore, using the lower bounds of the box and the upper bounds of the discs,

14.35 < 14.5

19.35 < 19.5

So, 17   1.55 =  26.35

And, 26.35 < 27.5

Therefore, 17 discs can definitely fit in the box.
