The authorities have video evidence of a possible suspect in the museum break in. The suspect was seen carrying a briefcase measuring 20” long by 16” high by 3” wide. One of the artifacts stolen was 24” long and 2” high and 2” wide. Investigators are trying to determine if this artifact was possibly smuggled out of the museum in this suspect’s briefcase. Task #1: Use this information to sketch and label a diagram of the briefcase and the Artifact that was stolen. Task #2: Individually, students will use the dimensions provided to determine Mathematically if the investigators’ suspicions are possible. Students should show all work and provide relevant properties and formulas.
