If the rectangular faces of a brick have their diagonals in the ratio 3 : 2 \sqrt{3} : \sqrt{15}, what is the ratio of the length of the shortest edge of the brick to that of its longest edge?
Let a, b, c be the edges.
{ab=3bc=2√3ca=√15
(1) * (3) / (2) :
a2=3√152√3=3√52a=√3√52
Similarly,
b=√65√5 and c=√2√5
Required ratio = b : c = √3:√5
