dimensional questions

Math problems
: dimensional questions 2

There is an ant at the corner of a cube, and their destination is the opposite corner where there is a dead fly. The cube’s edges are 5 centimetres. What is the shortest way and how many centimetres?

Do you know the answer?

Ans:
2*5=10
10^2+5^2=ab^2=125
(125)^-2=ab

Do you know why? It is the shortest distance between two points method!! Just go straight without any turns will be the fastest way!! Try it yourself!
