Answer:
tan 75 =x/you is the my answer
Shorter side: 130ft
longer side: 260ft
greatest possible area: 33800ft^2
basically get the equations for area and perimeter which will be
A: lw (length x width)
P: l + 2w
Substitute them into eachother and you get the equation:
-2w^2+520w = A
find the vertex of this parabola which will give you the greatest width which is 130m
Then u can find length and area from this width
The opposite of the number -2 1/3 is 2 1/3 because if you look at a number line you will see that -2 1/3 and 2 1/3 are on opposite sides of the line
The actual distance between the cities is 50 miles
To find the area of this just add the units I believe which is 21
Hope this helps good luck. Not sure if this is 100% right my last year teacher was a sucky one
