Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For a perfect square
b² = 4*a*c
Comparing ax² + bx + c = 0 to x² + bx + 16
a = 1, c = 16
<span>b² = 4*a*c
</span>
<span>b² = 4*1*16
</span>
<span>b² = 64
</span>
b = √64
b = 8
The value of b = 8.
Answer:
s = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
we know the rectangles are similar
2 × __ = 16
s × __ = 24
so,
16÷2 = 8
2 × 8 =16
s × 8 =24
then,
24 ÷ 8 = s
3 = s
2 × 8 = 16
3 × 8 =24
hoped i helped :)
The answer is D
U would subtract a^2 then square both sides to isolate the variable
