Question

a door that is 6 ft by 6inches tall and 36 inches wide. Can apeice of plywood that is 7 ftby 8 ft be carried through the door?

Answer 1

We need to find the diagonal of the door. Use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

78^2 + 36^2 = c^2
6,084 + 1,296 = c^2
7,380 = c^2
85.9 = c

If 92 inches is the shortest measurement of the plywood, it won't fit.

Answer 2

it won't fit as you said
