MCQ
The three different face diagonals of a cuboid (rectangular parallelopiped) have lengths $39,40,41$. The length of the main diagonal of the cuboid which joins a pair of opposite corners is
- ✓$49$
- B$49 \sqrt{2}$
- C$60$
- D$60 \sqrt{2}$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$49$
a
(a)
(a)
Let the length, breadth and height of cuboid is $l, b$ and $h$ respectively.
$Given, l^2+h^2=39^2$
$\Rightarrow b^2+h^2=40^2$
$\Rightarrow \quad l^2+b^2=41^2$
$\Rightarrow \quad 2\left(l^2+b^2+h^2\right)=39^2+40^2+41^2$
$\Rightarrow \quad l^2+b^2+h^2=2401$
$\therefore$ Length of longest diagonal
$=\sqrt{l^2+b^2+h^2}$
$=\sqrt{2401}=49$
