The largest length stick that could fit inside the box would be the diagonal of the box.
Using the formula for calculating the diagonal of a rectangular box:
Diagonal = √(length^2 + width^2 + height^2)
Diagonal = √(40^2 + 30^2 + 70^2)
Diagonal = √(1600 + 900 + 4900)
Diagonal = √(7500)
Diagonal ≈ 86.60 cm
Rounded to the nearest cm, the largest length stick that could fit inside the box is 87 cm.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
B) 86 cm
