The length of a rectangle is 8 inches longer than half of its width.The area of the rectangle is 18 square inches.How many inche

SOVA2 [1]

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.
