James ordered a fishing rod, priced at $3.56. Unfortunately, James is an Eskimo who lives in a very remote part of Greenland and the import rules there forbid any package longer than 4 feet to be imported. The fishing rod was 4 feet and 1 inch, just a little too long, so how can the fishing rod be mailed to James without breaking the rules? Ideally James would like the fishing rod to arrive in one piece!

Insert the fishing rod into a box which measures 4 feet on all sides, the fishing rod will fit within the diagonal of the box with room to spare.

The fishing rod is pretty flexible. One inch can be managed by bending the top. Moreover most fishing rods are in two piece in their original packaging.
Or the rod cud be packed diagonally.

EASY ; TAKE THE FISHING LINE AND TIE IT TO THE REEL AND TIGHTEN THE LINE WITH THE REEL TILL THE TIP CURVES OVER TO A 45 DEGREE ANGLE.
OR
USING HEAT, REMOVE TIP OF FISHING ROD AND TRIM OFF AN INCH OF ROD, THEN WITH CONTACT CEMENT, GLUE THE TIP BACK ON.

the smallest container he desires is purely 2.05 X 2.05 X 2.9. He might placed the pole in diagnally, from the better top corner to the backside left corner. eighth grade algebra: 2a^2 = 4.a million^2 (pothagoriam theorum) to discover the top and diagnol of backside. 2b^2 = a^2, to discover the width and length of the container.

If you have a wide enough package, you could insert it diagonally and the 1 inch would be eliminated--you can calculate how wide it would have to be.
