Jorge needs to ship a thin metal rod to a metalworking shop. the only boxes available for shipping are 7-inch cubes. to the nearest inch, what is the length of the longest metal rod that can be sent?
11 inches
12 inches
13 inches
14 inches

The length of the longest metal rod that can be sent is 12 inches.

As given, the only boxes available for shipping are 7-inch cubes. As Jorge needs to ship a thin metal rod to a metalworking shop, he will put the rods diagonally or space diagonally in the box.

The space diagonal of a cube can be found by the formula :

=

Here, x is 7 inches.

So, Diagonal is =

= inches.

Rounding this to nearest whole number we get 12.

So, the length of the longest metal rod that can be sent is 12 inches.

it would more likely be bald eagle because its has more in the box so about 75%.

step-by-step explanation:

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
