54PRACTICE PROBLEM
A painter needs to carry a long wooden plank horizontally through an L-shaped hallway. The hallway consists of a -foot-wide passage leading into a -foot-wide section. What is the approximate length (in units of feet) of the longest plank that can be maneuvered around the corner without tilting? Round your final answer to two decimal places.
