RO divides the rectangle into two congruent right triangles.
The area of the one triangle is equal half area of the rectangle.
Calculate the area of rectangle:

The area of right triangle:

Use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of RO:

The formula of an area of this right triangle is:

Therefore we have the equation:

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

We are to find the value of y
Answer: p = - 61/36
Step-by-step explanation: first - calculate: 36p+18+8= -35 then add the numbers we can, together : 36p+ 26= -35 then move the constant to the right: 36 p = -35 - 26, now calculate the difference: 36 p = -61 divide both sides which equals -61/36
