Answer:

C.; Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

A)

The longest thing that can fit along the base of the box is sqrt ( 13^2 + 35^2) = 37.3, which is less than 38, so NO, the baton can't lay flat on a diagonal along the base of the box C. No, because the diagonal is 37.3 inches long.

B) The interior diagonal of the box is sqrt(13^2 + 13^2 + 35^2) = sqrt (1563), which is 39.5, which is greater than 38, so YES, the baton can fit along the interior diagonal of the box.
