<h2>Answer:</h2>

The length of the longest metal rod that can be sent is 12 inches.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

As given, the only boxes available for shipping are 7-inch cubes. As Jorge needs to ship a thin metal rod to a metalworking shop, he will put the rods diagonally or space diagonally in the box.

The space diagonal of a cube can be found by the formula :

D=\sqrt{x^{2}+x^{2}+x^{2} }

= \sqrt{3} x

Here, x is 7 inches.

So, Diagonal is = \sqrt{3} \times7

= 1.732\times7=12.12 inches.

Rounding this to nearest whole number we get 12.

So, the length of the longest metal rod that can be sent is 12 inches.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

Check it below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The Boxplot is a visual tool to easily find the quartiles of a Distribution. To construct a boxplot it's necessary to organize the data, find at least the upper (3rd Quartile) and lower quartile (1st Quartile), and register the maximum and the minimum value.

2) This graph confirms that the South American ones have much more water than the North American counterparts. Notice the Upper Quartile, (the top of the box) for the Southern ones, it's over 100,000 yrds³. And Compare to the Northern one.
