There's a width of 8 in., a length of 20 in., and a height of 12 in.

Answer:

a.

Approximately 24.7\; \rm in.

b.

While there are three diagonals in a box (a rectangular prism,) all three diagonals goes through the same point- the centroid of this box.  

For a maximum-length poster to fit in this box, it would have to be on one of the main diagonals of this box. Hence, any maximum-length poster that fits in this box would go through the centroid of this box.

It's not possible to force more than one posters to go through the same point (i.e., the centroid) in space. Hence, it would not be possible to fit a second maximum-length poster into this box.

This argument does not apply to  21.5\; \rm in posters. These posters are shorter than the diagonal of this box; they could fit inside the box without having to go through a particular point in space.

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest poster that could be fit into this box (a rectangular prism) would be as long as the longest line segment in this box. That line segment would be one of the three diagonals of this box.

Apply the Pythagorean theorem twice to find the length of that diagonal.

Start by finding calculating the diagonal of the base of this box. The base of this box is a rectangle with width 8\; \rm in and length 10\; \rm in. The length of its diagonal would be \sqrt{8^2 + 10^2} inches.

Combine that with the height of this box to find the length of the diagonal of this box.

\begin{aligned}& \sqrt{{\left(\sqrt{8^2 + 10^2}\right)}^2 + 12^2  \\ &= \sqrt{8^2 + 10^2 + 12^2} \\ &\approx 24.7 \end{aligned}.

Mika rides his bike 3 miles each way to his friend's house. He leaves his house at 4 p.m. How many miles does he ride his bike t
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

How many miles does he ride his bike there and back?

6 miles.

What information is extra?​

The hour at which he leaves his house.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that he rides 3 miles each way.

Then he rides 3 miles from his house to his friend's house, and another 3 miles from his friend's house to his house.

So he rides 3 miles both times, if we add that, we get:

3 miles + 3 miles = 6 miles

So:

How many miles does he ride his bike there and back?

6 miles.

And to answer the other question, we need to look at the given information that we did not use in this calculation. In this case, is the hour at which he leaves his house.

Notice that we never did use the fact that he leaves his house at 4 p.m.

Then:

What information is extra?​

The hour at which he leaves his house.

 if angle RZT=110, angle RZS=3s, and angle TZS=8s, what are angle RZS and angle TZS?
skelet666 [1.2K]
8s-3s=5s
5s=110
Divide both sides by 5 => s=22
RZS = 3s = 3(22) = 66
TZS= 8s = 8(22) = 176
