I did it this way.
Say we have at the bottom left corner of the cube as the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system.
Now, given that all sides are
3
units in length.
Let's consider a vector that points from the origin (the bottom left corner of the cube) to the top right corner(diagonally):
v
=
3
i
+
3
j
+
3
k
which is the required stick.
For the maximum length, all we need to do is to determine the length of this vector. Therefore,
∣
∣
v
∣
∣
=
(
3
)
2
+
(
3
)
2
+
(
3
)
2
=
3
+
3
+
3
=
3
.
i hate vectors always be simple and logistic

the largest size of a cube is its diagonal therefore the largest size of the stick is 3 × 1 . 7 3 2 = 3 × 3 = ( 3 ) 2 = 3
