The correct Answer is:
To find the length of the largest pole that can be placed in a hall with dimensions 10 m long, 10 m wide, and 5 m high, we will calculate the diagonal of the hall using the formula provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions of the hall:** - Length (l) = 10 m - Width (b) = 10 m - Height (h) = 5 m 2. **Use the formula for the diagonal of a rectangular prism:** \[ \text{Diagonal} = \sqrt{l^2 + b^2 + h^2} \] 3. **Substitute the values into the formula:** \[ \text{Diagonal} = \sqrt{(10)^2 + (10)^2 + (5)^2} \] 4. **Calculate the squares:** - \(10^2 = 100\) - \(10^2 = 100\) - \(5^2 = 25\) 5. **Add the squared values:** \[ 100 + 100 + 25 = 225 \] 6. **Take the square root of the sum:** \[ \text{Diagonal} = \sqrt{225} = 15 \text{ m} \] 7. **Conclusion:** The length of the largest pole that can be placed in the hall is **15 meters**.
