11/1 Straight hallway #1 makes an "L" intersection (90 degrees)
with straight hallway #2. Hallway #1 is X feet wide and #2
is Y feet wide. What is the longest board/plank/2x4
that you can move from one hallway to the next, sqeezing
around the corner?
\_ Assume it's zero height (ie. it's a 2-dimensional problem)
\_ How tall is the ceiling?
\_ shorter than the shortest board
\_ It still matters. Should we just set ceiling height to zero
as the poster below has done?
\_ Given ceiling height=0, I think the max length is (x+y)*sqrt(2)
but don't ask me to prove it. I might prove it later though... |
