The largest size of bamboo that can be placed in a square of area 100 sq.meters is__________?
Correct answer: B. 14.14m
- A. 10m
- B. 14.14m
- C. 20m
- D. 25m
Explanation
A square with area 100 square metres has side √100 m = 10 m. The longest straight bamboo that fits inside it is its diagonal, which is 10√2 m ≈ 14.14 m. Option a is the likely choice for students who use the side instead of the diagonal.

About Area and Volume
Area measures the surface enclosed by two-dimensional figures, while volume measures the space occupied by three-dimensional solids. Problems use formulas for rectangles, triangles, circles, prisms, cylinders, cones, spheres, and composite figures, including unit conversion and the distinction between surface area, lateral area, and volume.
