Similar means that the student's desk and the teacher's desk is proportional. 
\frac{length of teacher's desk}{width of teacher's desk} = \frac{length of student's desk}{width of student's desk}
\frac{50}{x} = \frac{30}{18}
Simplify: \frac{50}{x} = \frac{5}{3}
Solve for x. 
50*3=5*x
x=30. in.

What is the simplest form of 6 radical 8 plus 8 radical 2
arsen [322]

Answer:

20\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the rule of radicals

\sqrt{a} × \sqrt{b} ⇔ \sqrt{ab}

Simplify

\sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4(2)} = \sqrt{4} × \sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}

Thus

6\sqrt{8} + 8\sqrt{2}

= 6(2\sqrt{2} ) + 8\sqrt{2}

= 12\sqrt{2} + 8\sqrt{2}

= 20\sqrt{2}
