Answer:

You are given three identical bricks (cuboids) and a ruler (scale) as shown in the figure. You have to find the length of the brick's diagonal without using any formula and by using the ruler only once. How will you do it?

(You can't break or change any physical properties of the material provided and you can't use your own material. There is no unique answer to this puzzle, and various solutions may be found useful.)

The (twice) given geometrical answer is very clever.

Here's a much less clever solution, using very basic engineering only. It utilises the fact that the diagonal happens to be the longest dimension of the brick.

Stand two of the bricks up on the ground with some room in between. Keeping one corner always touching one brick,

Now you can easily measure the distance between the two bricks.

To make the measurement more accurate, you can add markings on the two bricks, and only push the marked spots away from each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

hope this helps you

Answer:

Just place a  ruler by one corner on the front face of the brick and measure it till other corner (which might take one turn only).... then see if they are identican if so so, then their diagonals are same.....yeh bass ek simple sadha solution hai.
