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 = .
Area of the rectangle is given to be, according to the question, 18 square inches.
Thus l × w = 18
⇒ l × (2l - 16) = 18
⇒ 2 - 16l - 18 = 0
⇒ - 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.
