    Solution

    The longest pole that can be placed in an indoor stadium is the space diagonal of the rectangular prism formed by the stadium. To find the length of the space diagonal, we use the Pythagorean theorem in three dimensions. d2=l2+b2+h2 =242+182+162 =576+324+256 d2=1156 d= √ 34×34 =34m.
