PP27385. a). Find the maximal length of a stick that can be turnedaround in a unit square! By stick we mean a segment with endpoints A,B.This segment is inside or on the boundary of the square of side length 1. Byturning around we mean that the stick can not be broken or bent, it can notbe lifted out of the plane of the square, and no point of it can ever be outsideof the square in the course of its morion. the stick can slide or rotate, and inits final position, the endpoint A must be where B was initially, and B mustbe where A was initially. try to prove your assertion, not just guess it.b).
