Question

The base dimensions of a right rectangular prism are 6 inches by 8 inches and the height is 24 inches. What is the length of the largest stick that can be placed inside the prism?

Answer 1

Answer:26 inches

Step-by-step explanation:length of the largest stick that can be placed inside the prism will be the diagonal of the cuboid(rectangular prism)

l=8inches

b=6inches

h=24inches

therefore, diagonal=$\sqrt{l^{2} +b^{2} +h^{2} }$

                                  =$\sqrt{64+36+576$

                                  =$\sqrt{676}$

                                  =26
