PLEASE HELP!!! WILL MARK BRAINLEST!!

A wire is first bent into the shape of a rectangle with width 8in and length 16in. Then the wire is unbent and reshaped into a triangle. If each side of the triangle has equal length, what is this length?

Respuesta :

Answer:

16!!!!!!!!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

8+8=16

16+16=32

16+32=48

48/3=16

Firstly we need to find perimeter of rectangle

[tex]P = 2(w + l) \\ P = 2(16 + 8) = 48[/tex]

So the length of wire is 48in

Now we can find length of triangle's side.

All of sides are equal, so

[tex]l = 48 \div 3 = 16[/tex]

Answer: the length of side is 16in
