The diagonal, d of a box can be found using the formula d = ( I2 + w2 + h2 ) 1/2 where l, w, and h, represent the length, width and height of the box, respectively. If the box is 24cm in length, 8cm in width and 6cm in height, then what is the length of the diagonal?

Sagot :

you are given of the following data:

l = 24cm

w = 8 cm

h = 6cm

and that the formula is d = √(l²+w²+h²)

---------------------------

getting the value of d you'll have

d = √(24² + 8² +6²)

d = √(576 + 64 + 36)

d = √(676)

d = 26cm

--------------------------

therefore the length of the diagonal is 26cm.
