The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum length of a rod that can be kept in a room with dimensions 6m (length), 5m (breadth), and 4m (height), we need to calculate the diagonal of the cuboid formed by the room. The formula for the diagonal \(d\) of a cuboid is given by: \[ d = \sqrt{L^2 + B^2 + H^2} \] where \(L\) is the length, \(B\) is the breadth, and \(H\) is the height of the cuboid. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the dimensions of the room**: - Length \(L = 6 \, m\) - Breadth \(B = 5 \, m\) - Height \(H = 4 \, m\) 2. **Substitute the dimensions into the diagonal formula**: \[ d = \sqrt{L^2 + B^2 + H^2} \] \[ d = \sqrt{6^2 + 5^2 + 4^2} \] 3. **Calculate the squares of the dimensions**: - \(6^2 = 36\) - \(5^2 = 25\) - \(4^2 = 16\) 4. **Add the squares together**: \[ d = \sqrt{36 + 25 + 16} \] \[ d = \sqrt{77} \] 5. **Calculate the square root**: - The approximate value of \(\sqrt{77}\) is about \(8.775\). Thus, the maximum length of the rod that can be kept in the room is approximately \(8.775 \, m\). ### Final Answer: The maximum length of the rod that can be kept in the room is approximately \(8.775 \, m\). ---
