Answer:

W = 16

L = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write down the information we have first

"The length of a rectangle is 8 feet longer than it is wide"

L = W + 8

"If each side is increased 8 feet, then the area is multiplied by 2."

(L + 8)(W + 8) = 2LW

Now we can solve for W first, then L

(W + 16)(W + 8) = 2W(W + 8)

W² + 24W + 128 = 2W² + 16W

0 = W²- 8W - 128

0 = (W - 16)(W + 8)

W = 16

L = 24

(This part above is solved like quadratics)

samuel needs to estimate the product of 23 * 395. explain two different methods Samuel can use to estimate.
Sonbull [250]
Samuel could round both of the individual numbers, to get s rounded answer. So, he could round 23 to 20, and 395 to 400, to get a product of 8000.
Or, he could multiply the numbers first, so 23*395 to get a product of 9085, which would then round to 9000, or depends on what place value it would want to be rounded to.

By the definition of complementary angles, since
svlad2 [7]

The blank spaces in the task content can be filled with; Substitution property, 90° and subtraction property.

<h3>What are the missing statements in the proof?</h3>

Since it follows from the vertical angles theorem that angle 1 = angle 4 as they are congruent.

Additionally, angles 1 and 2 are said to be complementary and hence, the sum of their measures is equal to 90°.

Finally, by virtue of the subtraction property of equality, the measure of angle 2 is; 90° - 40° = 50°.
