24

step-by-step explanation:

if it takes 8 pounds to make 12 divide 12 by 8 and you get 1.5, 1.5 x 16 = 24

or

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:

  ⇒

then, the solutions are: or

answer: the angel abc is 30°,and the abc is a triangle where the angel bac is 90°

so ac is the half of 24=12ft,and from the pythagorean theorem we find ba

ba=√bc^2-ac^2=√576-144=√432=12√3ft

so bac is 12+12√3=12(1+√3)ft
