Question:

Find the length of the largest rod which can be placed in a room of dimensions 12 m, 16 m, 20 m?

Options:

17 cm 

20 cm

20\(\sqrt{2 }\) cm

19\(\sqrt{2 }\) cm

Correct Answer:

20\(\sqrt{2 }\) cm

Explanation:

Length of largest rod = diagonal of cuboid

= \(\sqrt {(l)² + (b)² + (h)² }\)

= \(\sqrt {(12)² + (16)² + (20)² }\)

= \(\sqrt {144 + 256 + 400}\) = \(\sqrt {800}\) = 20\(\sqrt{2 }\) cm
