Question

what is the maximum length of a pencil that can be placed in a rectangular box of dimensions 8 cm ×6 cm × 5 cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

10 cm .

Step-by-step explanation:

if we take the diagonal then according to pythagoras property 8cm² + 6cm² = the square of the diagonal

so , 64 + 36 = diagonal ²

therefore , 100 = 10cm

so the diagonal is of 10cm.

so the maximum length of a pencil that can be placed in this box is of 10 cm.
