Step-by-step explanation:

Let the painting's width be w inches and length be l inches.

w + 6 = 2l

w = 2l - 6 --(1)

2w + 2l = 84 --(2)

sub (1) into (2):

2(2l - 6) + 2l = 84

2l - 6 + l = 42

3l = 48

l = 16

when l = 16, w = 2(16) - 6 = 26

area of painting = lw = 16 x 26 = 416square inches

Therefore, only statements 1, 3 and 5 are true

Find the length of the altitude to the hypotenuse. Round the answer to the nearest tenth, if needed.

To solve this, it might be easier to draw it out (see the picture below). I split it into two triangles and used trig functions to find the altitude. I used the big triangle to find theta, and the used theta to find the side of the altitude. *remember that sine= opposite/hypotenuse*
