*see attachment for the figure referred to

Answer:

4 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that tan(f) = \frac{2}{1}, therefore, it follows that:

tan(f) = \frac{opp}{adjacent} = \frac{YW}{XW} = \frac{8}{XW},

If the ratio of YW to XW = 2:1, therefore, \frac{2}{1} = \frac{8}{XW}

Cross multiply to find XW

XW*2 = 8*1

XW = \frac{8}{2} = 4 units

Brandon has 32 stamps. He wants to display the stamps in rows, with the same number of stamps in each row. How many different wa
aniked [119]
Find all the factors of 32, as they come in pairs.
The pairs will give you how many rows you can have, as well as the number of stamps in each row.
1x32 would be 1 row, 32 stamps each
2x16 would be 2 rows, 16 stamps each.
4x8 would be 4 rows, 8 stamps each.
Once you reach the point that it flips around, you can count up all those ways as well.
8x4 is 8 rows with 4 stamps each
16x2 is 16 rows with 2 stamps each
32x1 is 32 rows with 1 stamp each
The total number of factor pairs is 6, meaning he can display the stamps in 6 different ways that follow his want of having the same number of stamps in each row.
