Answer:

The correct answer is 2 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let l inches and w inches be the length and width of a rectangle respectively.

According to the given problem, l - 8 = \frac{w}{2}.

Area of the rectangle is given to be, according to the question, 18 square inches.

Thus l × w = 18

⇒ l × (2l - 16) = 18

⇒ 2 l^{2} - 16l - 18 = 0

⇒  l^{2} - 8l - 9 = 0

⇒ ( l - 9) ( l + 1) = 0

The possible values of l are 9 and -1. As the length cannot be equal to -1, thus the value of the length is 9 inches.

Width of the rectangle is 2 inches.

*BEST ANSWER WILL BE MARKED BRAINLIEST*
Gwar [14]
Alright

for a 45-45-90 triangle, if the legs are x then the hytponuse is x√2


so LM=x√2 is right
NM=x

also, tan=oposite side/adjacent side
so that would be LN/MN or MN/LN=x/x=1

so that would be tan(45)=1

so you want to check the 1st one, 3rd one and 5th one

NM=x
LM=x√2
tan(45°)=1 are the answers

What is the measure of c?<br> a = 15<br> j = 24<br> k = 32
inessss [21]

Answer:

The answer to your question is c = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

a = 15

j = 24

k = 32

c = ?

Process

Use proportions to solve this problem. Compare the small triangle and the large triangle.

1.- Proportion of the small triangle

             c/15

2.- Proportion of the large triangle

            k/j

3.- Equal but terms and solve for c

            c/15 = k/j

-Substitution

            c / 15 = 32/24

            c = 32(15)/24

-Result

            c = 20
