Q.If a right circular cylinder has a radius of 3 cm and a height of 4 cm, then what is the length of the longest rod that can be placed inside it?

Diameter of the cylinder = AB = 6 cm Height of the cylinder = BC = 8 cm \(\therefore\) The length of the longest rod that can be placed inside the cylinder = \(\sqrt{6^2 + 8^2}\) cm = \(\sqrt{36 + 64}\) cm = \(\sqrt{100}\) cm = 10 cm \(\therefore\) The longest rod that can be placed inside the cylinder is 10 cm long.
