You have a rectangular box with the length of 30cm, width of 15, and height of 25cm. You would like to send your friend several posters. When rolled up the length of the tube formed is 35cm. Will you be able to send the posters in the box without bending them.
corner to corner is sqrt(15^2+30^2+25^2)
work it out.
how does trig work into this??
To determine if you can send the posters in the box without bending them, we need to compare the length of the tube formed by rolling up the posters with the dimensions of the box.
The length of the tube formed when rolling up the posters is 35cm. We can compare this length with the dimensions of the box to see if it fits.
The longest side of the box is the height, which is 25cm. Therefore, the posters should fit in terms of height.
Next, we should consider the other two dimensions, length and width. The length of the box is 30cm, which is shorter than the length of the tube (35cm). This means that the posters cannot fit in terms of length without bending.
In conclusion, you will not be able to send the posters in the box without bending them since the length of the tube formed by rolling the posters is longer than the length of the box.
