What is the length of the longest pole that can fit itself in a hall 60 feet long, 30 feet broad and 20 feet high? |
70 feet 20 feet 50 feet 30 feet |
70 feet |
Length of diagonal of a cuboid = \(\sqrt {(l^2 + b^2 + h^2 ) }\) Where, l= length , b= breadth h = height Here, hall has length = 60 feet , breadth = 30 feet and height = 20 feet As, the length of the longest rod that can be placed in a room is it's diagonal So, length of the longest rod = \(\sqrt {(60^2 + 30^2 + 20^2 ) }\) = \(\sqrt {(4900 }\)) = 70 feet |
