width = x

length = 2x+8

area = l x w

x(2x+8)=120

2x^2+8x−120=0

x^2+4−60=0

(x+10)(x−6)=0

x=−10 and x=6

width has to be a positive number

Width = 6 inches.

Note that sum of triangle interior angles is 180. So,

$(12x+12)+15+(3x+18)=180$

$15x+45=180$

$15x=135$

$x=9$

Since $A=12x+12=12.9+12=120$

And $C=3x+18=3.9+18=45$

Answer:

The answer is "option b"

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount = $26,900

r= 0.0818 %

$i=\frac{r}{4}\\\\$

$=\frac{0.0818}{4}\\\\=0.02045$

t= 8 years

$n= 8 \times 4$

$=32$

$D=\frac{1-(1+i)^{-n}}{i}\\$

$=\frac{1-(1+0.02045)^{-32}}{0.02045}\\\\=\frac{1-(1.02045)^{-32}}{0.02045}\\\\=\frac{1-0.52319627}{0.02045}\\\\=\frac{0.47680373}{0.02045}\\\\=23.3155858$

$Q= \frac{Amount}{Discount \ factor }\\$

$=\frac{26900}{23.3155858} \\\\=1153.73468$

Payment $=1153.73468 \times 32\\\\$

$= \$ 36919.5098\\$

$\text{Total interest = Payment - amount}$

$= \$ 36919.5098 - \$ 26900 \\\\ = \$ 10019.5098$

$\text{Finance charge = Total interest + service charge}$

$= \$ 10019.5098 + \$ 1527\\\\ = \$ 11546.5098$
