Question

A hall has dimensions 24 m X 8 m X 6 m The length of the longest pole which can be accommodated in the hall is

• A. 26 m
• B. 28 m
• C. 30 m
• D. 36 m

Answer 1

The correct option is A 26 m

Given length =l=24 m, breadth=b=8 m and height=h=6 m

Longest pole will be=longest diagonal of room=$\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}=\sqrt{(24{)}^2+(8{)}^2+(6{)}^2}=\sqrt{576+64+36}=\sqrt{676}=26$ cm
