you are correct (you used Pythagoras' Theorem, i suppose)

for 23 and 27 recall that the diagonals of a rectangle bisect each other (cut each other at their midpoints)

hint for 29, note that the diagonals are the same length, so AC = BD

17)
$

\overline{NL} = 2\times\overline{JL} = 2\times 12.8 = 25.6
$

OR

$
\overline{NL} = \overline{MK}
$

$
\overline{MK} = \sqrt{\overline{NM}^2 + \overline{NK}^2} = \sqrt{16^2 +20^2} = \sqrt 656 \doteq 25.6
$

23) and 27)
$
\overline {RT} = \overline {TP} = \overline {PS}
$

$
\sqrt{(\overline {RT}+ \overline {TP})^2 - \overline {PS}^2} = \overline {SR}
$

$
\sqrt{(2\times\overline{RT})^2 - \overline{PS}^2} = \overline{SR}
$

$
\sqrt{(2\times5)^2 - 5^2} = \overline {SR}
$

$
\overline {SR} = \sqrt {75} = 5\sqrt{3} \doteq 8.7
$

29)
$
\overline{AC} = 3x
$

$
\overline{BD} = 7x - 8
$

$
\overline{AC} = \overline {BD}
$

$
3x = 7x - 8
$

$
4x = 8
$

$
x = 2
$

$
\overline{AC} = \overline {BD} = 3x = 3\times2 = 6
$
