A 12 cm by 25 cm by 36 cm box of cereal is lying on the floor on one of its 25 cm by 36 cm faces. An ant, located at one of the bottom corners of the box, must crawl along the outside of the box to reach the opposite bottom corner. What is the length of the shortest path? (* note: the ant can crawl on any of the 5 exposed faces (not the bottom, which is flush with the ground. It can crawl on any edge or face of the box) Hint: Pythagorean theorem.
