Answer: [tex]10.2"[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The dimension of the rectangular box is [tex]2"\times 6"\times8"[/tex]
If the Straw fits exactly into the box diagonally
So, the length of the longest diagonal of the rectangular box is equal to the length of the straw i.e.
[tex]\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{2^2+6^2+8^2}\\\\\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{4+36+64}\\\\\Rightarrow l=\sqrt{104}\\\Rightarrow l=10.19\approx 10.2"[/tex]
