Answer:10cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The face with greatest area will allow the maximum size of pencil in it.
Therefore, 8 ×6cm face will have largest pencil in it.
As the face is rectangular, its diagonal will be the largest length in it.
Therefore according to Pythagoreans thearom,
a2+b2=C2
8 square+6square=(64+36)
64+36=C2
Therefore c=√100=10cm
