Answer:
8.4
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal.
That means WY = XZ
16x+2 = 36x-6
Subtract 16x from each side.
16x -16x+2 = 36x-16x-6
2 = 20x -6
Add 6 to each side
2+6 = 20x-6+6
8 = 20x
Divide by 20
8/20 = 20x/20
2/5 =x
We want to find the length of the diagonal
WY = 16 ( 2/5) +2
Changing to decimal form
WY =16 * .4 +2
WY =6.4+2
= 8.4
