The distance traveled by the ray will be 26 inches. Then the correct option is B.
<h3>What is coordinate geometry?</h3>
Coordinate geometry is the study of geometry using the points in space. Using this, it is possible to find the distance between the points, the dividing line is m:n ratio, finding the mid-point of the line, etc.
In a science experiment, a student concluded that a ray has to travel a distance from one corner at the top of the rectangular prism to the opposite side where the surface touching the floor is intersected.
If the length, width, and height of the prism are given as 24 inches and 8 inches, 6 inches respectively.
Then the distance traveled by the ray will be
We know the formula
D² = L² + W² + H²
We have
L = 24 in
W = 6 in
H = 8 in
Then the distance will be
D² = 24² + 6² + 8²
D² = 576 + 36 + 64
D² = 676
D = 26 in
Thus, the correct option is B.

To effectively and correctly answer this and help we'll need a photo diagram for the question. We need to see a graph of some sort to even know where to start this off. It'd probably be solvable without a diagram if you don't have one, but I don't think that many people have the skill to do so (at least I don't). I know how terrible I feel when no one answers my questions, so I thought I'd let you know why others might not be answering this for you. I'm pretty sure you can update the question and attach a photo (an actual photo or a screenshot) to it, via the paperclip icon. Have a great day! :)
Answer:
5/8 is smaller.
Step-by-step explanation:
A ratio is just a different type of fraction, a 5:8 ratio means 5/8 which is 0.625. A 7:9 ratio equals 7/9 which is 0.777777
Then to compare them you see which is smaller or bigger.
0.77777 is bigger than 0.625 so we know that 0.77777777 which was the 7:9 ratio is the bigger one.
