We will certainly fit the box through the width and the height (4x4) instead of through the length (4x10).
The circular opening should have a diameter equal to the diagonal of the box (4x4).
Hint: use Pythagoras theorem to calculate the diagonal.
Thank you, but this did not help me.
Ouch. You do not know about the Pythagorean Theorem?
If not, look it up; you will be needing it a lot from now on. After that, come on back and we can clarify what you did not understand.
Thank you so much. You guys have been a lot of help to me in the past. I will study it more.
