Answer:

b 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Width of the rectangle = 7 ft

Diagonal length of the rectangle = 16 ft

Let the length of the rectangle = l ft

Then,

\[l^{2}+7^{2}=16^{2}\]

\[=> l^{2}+49=256\]

\[=> l^{2}=207\]

\[=> l=sqrt{207}\]

\[=> l=14.39\]

This can be approximate by 14 ft

Among the given options, option B is the correct one.

Answer: b. 14ft

Step-by-step explanation:

In the rectangle, the opposite sides are equal. The diagonal divides the rectangle into two equal right angle triangles. The diagonal represents the hypotenuse of both right angle triangles. The length and width represents the opposite and adjacent sides of the right angle triangles.

To determine the length, L of the rectangle, we would apply Pythagoras theorem which is expressed as

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore,

16² = L² + 7²

256 = L² + 49

L² = 256 - 49 = 207

L = √207

L = 14.38

the closest to the length of this rectangle in feet is

14ft

I would say, well, if there are 3 sides that are equal on spinner 1. They are equal. But, we are focusing on spinner two that has two sides. If there is only 2 equal sides then, they would have to be straight across from each other. So that is 180. 360 is full circle. take away 180 to get answer. 
360-180=180
I hope this helped. And sorry if it is not the correct answer. But that is how I would of answered it
