Will a pair of 6 feet 11 inch long skis fit in a wardrobe that is 3 feet long, 2 feet wide and 6 feet high?
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of a pair of skis = 6 feet 11 inches
Maximum length of a the skis that can be fitted in a wardrobe is along the diagonal of the wardrobe.
From the picture attached,
BC² = 3² + 2² [By Pythagoras theorem]
BC = √(13)
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,
AB² = AC² + BC²
AB² = 6² + (√13)²
= 36 + 13
AB = √49
Ab = 7 feet
Since, "diagonal length of the wardrobe is more than the length of skis,
skis can be fitted"
