Question
In a shopping mall there is a hall of cuboid shape with dimension 800 × 800 × 720 units, which needs to be added the facility of an escalator in the path as shown by the dotted line in the figure. Find the minimum total length of the escalator

Solution
Give the dimension of the cube = 800 × 800 × 720
Minimum total length of the escalator:
Shape of the hall is cuboid
The path of the escalator is
From OA to AB to BC to CD
OE = 800
EA = `1/4 xx "Height of the building"`
EA = `1/4 xx 720` = 180
Since there are four steps for the escalator
∴ OA2 = OE2 + EA2
= 8002 + 1802
= (40 × 20)2 + (9 × 20)2
= 402 × 202 + 92 × 202
= 202 (402 + 92)
= 202 (1600 + 81)
= 202 × 1681
OA2 = 202 × 412
OA = `sqrt(20^2 xx 41^2)`
= 20 × 41
= 820
Since ∆OAE ≡ ∆ABB’ ≡ ∆ BCC ≡ ∆CDD’
We have OA = AB = BC = CD
Total length of the escalator
= OA + AB + BC + CD
= 820 + 820 + 820 + 820
= 4 × 820
= 3280
Minimum length of the escalator = 3280 units
