Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions will be those of a rectangular mirror if the diagonal measure is the hypotenuse of the right triangle with the given side lengths.

The Pythagorean theorem would require for some width w ...

  w^2 +24^2 = 30^2

  w^2 = 900 -576 = 324

  w = √324 = 18

A rectangular mirror with a length of 24 inches and a diagonal of 30 inches will have a width of 18 inches, not 16.

__

The attachment shows that a width of 16 inches is not consistent with a right-angle corner.

Additional comment

If you reduce the given numbers to lowest terms by dividing them by 2, they become 8, 12, 15. That is, the two shortest sides are even and the longest is odd. Any set of integer dimensions for a right triangle must have an even number of odd numbers (0 or 2). These numbers cannot be a Pythagorean triple, so cannot make a right triangle.

the two may have that, even a breakdown is probably offered

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
