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.

Determine if the statement is true or false<br> The figures below are similar
artcher [175]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The polygons given have 5 sides, so the sum of their interior angles is (5-2) * 180 = 540. Next, there are 4 pairs of corresponding sides. Writing those sides as a, b, c, and d, for each pentagon, we can write

540 = a + b + c + d + missing angle

540 = a + b + c + d + missing angle

As is shown here, if a, b, c, and d are the same, 540 - (a+b+c+d) = missing angle is the same as well. Therefore, there are 5 corresponding angle pairs for the two polygons. Furthermore, because there are only 5 angles for each polygon, and because having all corresponding angles be equal makes polygons similar to each other, the polygons given are similar
