Question

will a 13 inch rusty metal bar fit into a box (rectangular prism) with dimensions 9 inches by 8 inches by 3 inches?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

Bar will not fit in the box.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length = 9 in

Width = 8 in

Height = 3 in

Length of bar = 13 in

Find:

Bar fit in box or not

Computation:

If length of bar is equal to length of diagonal  than it will fit in box.

Diagonal of a cuboid = √l² + b² + h²

Diagonal of a cuboid = √9² + 8² + 3²

Diagonal of a cuboid = √81 + 64 + 9

Diagonal of a cuboid = √154

Diagonal of a cuboid = 12.40 in

Diagonal of a cuboid < Length of bar

So,

Bar will not fit in the box.
