Respuesta :
THe diagonal of the 3*3 square = 3* sqrt2 = 4.24 feet so the answer is Yes.
The first step is to calculate the length of the diagonal of the square opening.
The length of a diagonal of square = [tex] \sqrt{2} [/tex] * side
Given side = 3 feet
Length of the square hole = [tex] \sqrt{2} [/tex] *3 = 4.24 feet
since the diagonal is 4.24 feet and the shorter side of the plywood piece is only 4 feet, we can slide it through the square hole diagonally
Answer is YES since the diagonal 4.24 feet is greater than the shorter side of the plywood piece *4 feet
