Question

9. The length and breadth of a room are 12 m and 16 m respectively. What would be largest
length of a rod that can be placed on floor
​

Answer 1

Answer:

20 m rod

Given that ;

Length = 12 m

Breadth = 16 m

Largest Length on the floor ,

Largest length = diagonal

So ,

Diagonal of the Room = √ L² + B²

√ L² + B²

√ 12² + 16²

√ 144 + 256

√ 400

= 20 m

Hence ,

The largest length of the rod that can be placed on floor = 20 m
