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, what is the distance travelled by the ray?

Scenario: susan wants to make 2 square flags to sell at a crafts fair. the fabric she wants to buy is 3 meters wide. she doesn't want any fabric left over. what's the least amount of fabric she should buy? question: which equation will susan solve her problem? note: let x represent the length of 1 side of the flag. options: 1) 2x^2 = 4x 2) 8 +2x = 2(4x) 3) 2 * 2 = 4 * 2 4) 4x^2 -2x = 0
