Logan bought a baseball bat on a trip. The baseball bat is 29 inches long Logan thinks he can bring the baseball bat home in his suitcase. Is he correct? Use your understanding of the Pythagorean theorem to explain your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Kindly find attached a description of Logan's suit case

given data

dimension of suitcase

adj, length=24in

opp, width=18in

dimension of base ball bat= 29in

we want to know if the bat can fit in the case, a way out is to solve for the diagonal or hypotenuse of the case using Pythagoras theorem.

we know that

hyp^2= opp^2+adj^2

hyp=√opp^2+adj^2

hyp=√18^2+24^2

hyp=√324+576

hyp=√900

hpy=30in

this means that the diagonal of the case is 30 in, seeing that the bat is 29 in, the bat cannot fit into the case
