To find the length of the straw, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.
Let the length of the straw be x.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have:
x^2 = 3^2 + 3^2 + 8^2
x^2 = 9 + 9 + 64
x^2 = 82
Taking the square root of both sides, we get:
x = β82
Therefore, the length of the straw is sqrt(82) inches.
