Answer:

No, since 832 ≠ 900, using Pythagorean theorem, the width should be 18 in

Explanation:

It is better to type the question in the 'Question' than the fact that you need help so that we can start seeing the problem immediately.

A rectangle has 4 right angles so if l = 24 and w = 16 then you can use the pythagorean theorem to see if this is possible since

24^2 + 16^2 = 30^2 since the diagonal is the hypotenuse of the triangles formed by the diagonal in the rectangle.

576 + 256 ≠ 900, since the left side is 832 and the right side is 900

It would be more correct if the width is 18 since 576 + 18^2 = 900
