Answer:
13 in by 51 in
Step-by-step explanation:
The area is the product of the dimensions, so is ...
663 = x(4x -1)
4x^2 -x -663 = 0 . . . . . . subtract 663 to put in standard form
Using the quadratic formula, we can find the solutions.
x = (-(-1) ±√((-1)^2 -4(4)(-663)))/(2(4))
x = (1 ± √10609)/8 = (1 ±103)/8
Only the positive solution is of any use in this problem, so ...
x = 104/8 = 13
4x-1 = 4(13)-1 = 51
The dimensions of the rectangle are 13 inches by 51 inches.

The distance from Ship B to the signal fire at point C is
Explanation:
It is given that two ships A and B are at a distance 140 ft from each other.
The angle formed by ship A is 82º and the angle formed by ship B is 78º.
To determine the distance from ship B to the signal fire at point C, we need to know the another angle.
Hence, we have,
Now, we shall solve the problem using the law of sines,
Substituting the values, we have,
Simplifying, we get,
Thus, the distance from Ship B to the signal fire at point C is
