Jamar has a large rectangular box that is 6ft x 8ft x 7ft. Will this box fit a pipe that is 12 ft. Long? Determine the length of the longest straight object that can fit in Jamar's box and show how you know whether the pipe will fit or not.

9.21ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

L= 6ft

W= 8ft

H= 7ft

Let us find the diagonal of the side, this represents the longest size of pipe the box can take

z^2= L^2+ H^2

z^2= 6^2+ 7^2

z^2= 36+49

z^2= 85

z= √85

z= 9.21ft

Hence the 12ft cannot fit into the box

the length of pip that can fit is 9.21ft

yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
