The length of longest rod that can be placed in a room of dimensions length 20 m,width 16 m and 12 m high

a) 20 m b) 16.4 m c) 48 m d) 28.2 m

Given: length, l=20 m,

width, b= 16 m 

and  height, h=12 m

length of longest rod=length of a diagonal

=

 

  • 22

 Here the formula to use is kind of pythagoras theorem for solids!!!

Diagonal=√l2+b2+h2

            =√400+256+144=√800

            =28.2m(approx)

Cheers!!
