the answer would be A

Answer 2

The statements which are true are:

A. z = 0.5

C. 3.4z = 1.7

Explanation:

It is given that :

The area of a rectangle is 1.7 square units.

The length is 3.4 units and the width is z units.

We know that the area of a rectangle is the product of the length and width of the rectangle.

This means that:

`3.4z=1.7`

i.e.

`z=(1.7)/(3.4)\\\\z=0.5\ \text{units}`
