Answer:
26 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Length = 24 cm
Width = 8 cm
Height = 6 cm
Required:
Diagonal of the box
SOLUTION:
Using the pythagorean theorem, [tex] a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = d^2 [/tex], where,
a, b and c are the dimensions of the box, and d is the length of the diagonal.
Plug in the value into the formula
[tex] 24^2 + 8^2 + 6^2 = d^2 [/tex]
[tex] 676 = d^2 [/tex]
[tex] \sqrt{676} = \sqrt{d^2} [/tex]
[tex] 26 = d [/tex]
Length of diagonal of the box = 26 cm
