Problema Solution
what is the minimum length(L)and width(W),in meters ,of a box that can contain an obect 56 cm wide and 843mm long?
Answer provided by our tutors
Width of object = 56cm
lenght of object = 843 mm = 84.3 cm
the maximum length in a box is the diagonal so we get
the diagonal should be = 84.3
and this is minimum when it is a square
=> Length (L) = Width (W) = 84.3/square root(2) = 59.60 cm
=> Length (L) = Width (W) = 0.596 meters
