A box used for shipping a volleyball set measures 10 inches by 20 inches by 40 inches. what is the longest length of support pole that will fit into the box, rounded to a tenth of an inch?

45.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the given dimensions and taking 40 inches for length, 20 inches for height and 10 inches for width. The diagonal that runs from bottom to top of box will give the longest possible length of a pole.

Diagonal at the bottom of box

Diagonal=√(l²+w²)

Where l and w represent length and width respectively

Diagonal=√(40²+10²)=√1700

Diagonal between the height and bottom diagonal

Longest diagonal=√(20²+√1700)=√2100=45.8257569495584

Rounded off, the diagonal is approximately 45.8 inches

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
