    45.8 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Considering the given dimensions and taking 40 inches for length, 20 inches for height and 10 inches for width. The diagonal that runs from bottom to top of box will give the longest possible length of a pole.

    Diagonal at the bottom of box

    Diagonal=√ (l²+w²)

    Where l and w represent length and width respectively

    Diagonal=√ (40²+10²) = √1700

    Diagonal between the height and bottom diagonal

    Longest diagonal=√ (20²+√1700) = √2100=45.8257569495584

    Rounded off, the diagonal is approximately 45.8 inches
