Question

A Popsicle is a square prism with a base edge length of 3 inches. When the Popsicle is frozen a 7 inch stick is frozen inside as the image shows. After frozen, 1 inch of the stick remains outside the Popsicle. What is the length of AC, to the nearest inch?

Answer 1

do you have a picture?

Answer 2

yes sorry I forgot to upload it -.-

Answer 3

well i mean, logically, i would think it would be one 6 inches, just because of the way it is worded. But i feel like that's probably not what they're asking you to do, rather, i think they want a Pythagorean theorem problem
