Question

A juice can is in the shape of a cylinder. It has a height of 122 mm and a diameter of 52 mm. What is the longest straw that can fit completely inside the juice can diagonally? Round the answer to the nearest tenth. (1 point)
mm

Answer 1

The longest straight straw is the space diagonal between opposite points on the top and bottom circles, length = sqrt(height^2 + diameter^2).

Length = sqrt(122^2 + 52^2) = sqrt(14884 + 2704) = sqrt(17588) ≈ 132.6 mm.

Answer: 132.6 mm.
