Answer:
Yes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The longest diagonal in the box is the line between one of the top corners to the opposite bottom corner.
Calculate the length of the longest diagonal in the box:
The diagonal of the base = √(6^2 + 8^2)
= √100 = 10 inches.
The longest diagonal = √( 24^2 + 10^2)
= √676
= 26 inches
= 26 * 2.54
= 66.04 cms.
Therefore the cylinder (length 63.5 cms) rod can fit in the box.
