A door is 6ft 6in high and 36 in wide. Can a thin piece of of plywood 7ft wide be carried through the door?
What you want to know is
is 84^2 ≤ 36^2 + 78^2
What do you think ?
Thanks
To determine if a thin piece of plywood that is 7ft wide can be carried through the door, we need to compare the dimensions of the plywood and the door.
The door height is given as 6ft 6in, which is equivalent to 6ft + 6in, or 6.5ft. The door width is given as 36in, which is equivalent to 3ft.
Now, let's compare these dimensions with the width of the plywood, which is given as 7ft.
Since the door height is 6.5ft and the width of the plywood is 7ft, the height of the door is greater than the width of the plywood. This means that the plywood can be carried through the door without any issues regarding height.
Next, let's compare the width of the door, which is 3ft, with the width of the plywood, which is 7ft. Since the plywood is wider than the door, it cannot fit through the door without being modified.
Therefore, based on the given dimensions, a thin piece of plywood that is 7ft wide cannot be carried through the door without modifying either the door or the plywood.
