Can an umbrella 28 cm long be packed in the bottom of a suitcase 24 cm long by 16 cm?
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "The diagonal = sqrt(24^2 + 16^2)
\n" ); document.write( "= sqrt(576 + 256)
\n" ); document.write( "= sqrt(832)
\n" ); document.write( "= 8*sqrt(13)
\n" ); document.write( "=~ 28.844 cm, so it will fit.
\n" ); document.write( "The umbrella is only 11 inches long, so what good will it do? Is it for someone's ferret?\r
