Question:

What is the length of the longest rod that can be placed in a room of dimensions 12 m 9 m 8 m?

Options:

15 m

17 m

16 m

14 m

Correct Answer:

17 m

Explanation:

The longest rod that can be placed inside the room = \(\sqrt {l^2 + b^2 + h^2}\)  

= \(\sqrt {12^2 + 9^2 + 8^2}\) 

= \(\sqrt {144 + 81 + 64}\)  = \(\sqrt {289}\)  = 17 m
