Answer:

L  =  23 in

h  = 46  in

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call  " x "  and  " y "  dimensions of the print area of the poster then:

882 = x*y  and   y = 882/x

We also know that dimensions of the poster is:

L  =  x + 2   in  and     h  =  y + 4 in

Therefore area of the poster is:

A(p)  = ( x + 2 ) * ( y + 4 )  And area as function of x is:

A(x)  =   ( x + 2 ) * ( 882/x + 4 )

A(x)  =  882 + 4*x + 1764 /x  + 8

Taking derivatives on both sides of the equation we have:

A´(x)  =  4  - 1764/x²

A´(x)  = 0      ⇒      4  - 1764/x² = 0      ⇒ 4*x² - 1764  =  0

x²  =  1764 / 4

x²  = 441

x  = 21 in      and    y  =  882/x         y  = 42

The second derivative  A´´(x)  is > 0  ( the second term changes its sign to +) there is a minimum for the function at the point      x = 21

As x   and  y are dimensions of the printing area of the poster, dimensions of the poster  are

L  = x  +  2   =   21  + 2  =  23 in   and

h = y  +  4   =   42  + 4  =  46  in

Solve each triangle - find any missing side and angle measures. Round answers to the nearest tenth.
Basile [38]

The sides of the right-angle triangle will be 16 units and 20.30 units. And the missing angle will be 52°.

<h3>What is a right-angle triangle?</h3>

It's a form of a triangle with one 90-degree angle that follows Pythagoras' theorem and can be solved using the trigonometry function.

The side AC will be

tan 38° = 12.5 / AC

      AC = 15.999

      AC ≈ 16 units

Then the side AB will be

AB² = 12.5² + 16²

 AB = 20.30 units

We know that the angle sum is 180 degrees. Then we have

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

38° + ∠B + 90° = 180°

                  ∠B = 52°

More about the right-angle triangle link is given below.
