[CSC 204] Diagonal calculation

[Andrew J. Pounds]

Students -- someone asked about the calculation of the diagonal.  It is 
the diagonal THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE BOX, not the diagonal of one 
side.  As such, standard rules of Euclidean geometry apply.

$d = \sqrt{l^2+w^2+h^2}$

where d is the diagonal and $l$, $w$, and $h$ are the length, width and 
height of the box respectively.
