Question

A father is giving his child a 30-inch long softball bat for her birthday.He has a rectangular box that has the dimensions of 5 inches by 6 inches by 25 inches. Will the bat fit in the box ? Explain

Answer 1

I think it will because 5 × 6 × 25 = 750 in.

The bat is 30 in.

So, I think it will fit.

Hope this helped☺☺

Answer 2

Answer:

No, the bat will not fit. Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of a diagonal of a face of the box is about 24 inches, and the length of the diagonal of the cube is about 29.4 inches. This is less than the length of the bat.
