In summary, the maximum distance in a 300x300 square is 424.26 units, which can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem. This theorem states that the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, when the other two sides are equal, is equal to the square root of two times the length of one of the sides. In a 300x300 square, the two sides are each 300 units long, making the hypotenuse 424.26 units. This maximum distance is useful in various applications, such as determining the maximum range of a drone or the maximum distance a person can travel in a confined space.

Six points have to be the maximum distance from each other within or on the sides of the square, what is the distance?

This is my first foray into the brain teasers on this forum, and after a little thought I came to the distance of
173.205
Any luck?

I've found a little different value:
600-300*sqrt[2] ~ 175.736

What is the maximum distance in a 300x300 square?

The maximum distance in a 300x300 square is the length of the diagonal, which can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem. In this case, the diagonal would be approximately 424.26 units.

How do you calculate the maximum distance in a 300x300 square?

To calculate the maximum distance in a 300x300 square, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the length of the hypotenuse (diagonal) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. In this case, the formula would be d = √(300² + 300²) = 424.26 units.

Is the maximum distance in a 300x300 square the same as the length of one side?

No, the maximum distance in a 300x300 square is not the same as the length of one side. The length of one side is equal to 300 units, while the maximum distance is the diagonal, which is approximately 424.26 units.

What is the unit of measurement for the maximum distance in a 300x300 square?

The unit of measurement for the maximum distance in a 300x300 square can be any unit of length, such as meters, centimeters, or feet. It depends on the context and the specific measurement system being used.

Can the maximum distance in a 300x300 square be calculated using other methods?

Yes, there are other methods that can be used to calculate the maximum distance in a 300x300 square, such as using trigonometric functions or using the distance formula. However, the Pythagorean theorem is the most commonly used method for this type of calculation.
