The longest pole that can be put in a room will be at the diagonal of this room (cuboid).

And the diagonal of cuboid is given by, D = (l2 + b2 + h2)1/2    (i.e. square root of the sum of the squares of the l,b,h)

Hence D = (102 + 102 + 52)1/2  
               = (100 + 100 + 25)1/2
               = (225)1/2 
               = 15

Hence 15 m will be the longest pole that can be placed in the room of the given dimensions.
