Frequently asked questions

Use d = √(l² + w² + h²). A 3 × 4 × 12 box has a space diagonal of exactly 13 units.

It is the longest straight line inside the box, running from one corner to the opposite corner through the interior.

It applies the Pythagorean theorem in three dimensions, extending √(a² + b²) to include the third edge.

An item fits if it is no longer than the space diagonal, which is why this is useful for packing long objects.
