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.

Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
the explanation is there :)
hope this helps <3
<span>The first choice is correct.
Explanation<span>:
The formula for slope is m=(y</span></span>₂<span><span>-y</span></span>₁<span><span>)/(x</span></span>₂<span><span>-x</span></span>₁<span><span>). Once we find the slope using that formula, it goes in place of m in y=mx+b.
We do not yet have the y-intercept, but we can use one of the points to find it. We substitute the x-coordinate of one point in for x and the y-coordinate of the same point in for y; then we solve for b. This gives us the y-intercept.</span></span>
