The dimensions would be x and x+6. The area is 216.

x(x+6) = 216
x^2 + 6x - 216 = 0
(x-12)(x+18) = 0

x = 12---Yes---
x = -18---No, sides cannot be negative---

If one side is 12, the other side is 18. To check:

12 * 18 = 216
216 = 216

Correct

Solve 8(x+2)=36.......

brilliants [131]

We have to use the Distributive Property in this equation.
By the Distributive Property,
$8(x+2)=36
$
becomes
$8x+16=36.$
Now we need to isolate x. Remember PEMDAS?
$8x=20$
$x=20/8$
Simplify the right side.
$x=10/4$
$x=5/2$

Answer: B) Adjacent interior angle

As the name implies, the angle is inside the triangle and it is adjacent (ie next to) the exterior angle. Contrast this with a remote interior angle, which is also inside the triangle, but it is not adjacent to the exterior angle in question. Alternate interior angles won't apply here because we don't have a set of parallel lines with a transversal cut.
