The bat will not fit in the cube shaped box
The side length of the cube is given as:
x = 17
The diagonal of the cube is calculated as
[tex]d = x\sqrt 3[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]d = 17\sqrt 3[/tex]
Evaluate
d = 29.4
29.4 is less than the length of the bat (30 inches)
This means that the bat will not fit in the cube shaped box
