the largest size of a cube is its diagonal therefore the largest size of the stick is 3 × 1.732 = 3 × 3 = ( 3 ) 2 = 3 \sqrt{3}\times1.732=\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{3}=(\sqrt{3})^2=3

The problem is rated too high, it is a level 1 problems bro !

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 \sqrt{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 v = \sqrt{3}i + \sqrt{3}j + \sqrt{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 ||v|| = \sqrt{ (\sqrt{3})^{2} + (\sqrt{3})^{2} + (\sqrt{3})^{2}} = \sqrt{3 + 3 + 3} = \boxed{3} .

i hate vectors always be simple and logistic
