Question

Find the length of the longest pole that can be put in a room of dimensions 10m by 10m
by 5m.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

15m

Step-by-step explanation:

Longest pole that can be put in a room is the diagonal of that room.

Diagonal = root(l^2 + b^2 + h^2)

l = 10m

b = 10 m

h = 5m

Longest pole = root(10^2 + 10^2 + 5^2) = root(100 + 100 + 25) = root225 = 15m
