Draw a rectangular box. The longest distance between any two corners is going to be the box’s three-dimensional diagonal from a bottom corner to the top corner furthest away. You can solve this problem by using the Super Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = d^2.
232 + 292 + 372 = 2,739 = d^2. The square root is a little more than 52.
