Hi there!

Answer:
length = 9 kilometres
Width = 12 kilometres

Let's solve this problem step by step!
To find our answer we need to set up and solve an equation.

Let the length of the rectangle be represented by x.
The width of the rectangle can therefore be expressed by 2x - 6.

The area of a rectangle can be found by using the formula:
A = width × length

Plug in the data from the formula
A = x (2x - 6).

Simplify using rainbow technique.
x(2x - 6) = 2 {x}^{2} - 6x

Now we've found the simplified expression that expresses the area of the rectangle. Therefore, we can now set up and start solve the equation.

2 {x}^{2} - 6x = 108
Subtract 108

2 {x}^{2} - 6x - 108 = 0
Divide by 2.

{x}^{2} - 3x - 54
(x - 9)(x + 6) = 0
Rule AB = 0, gives A is 0 or B is 0.

x - 9 = 0 \\ x = 9 \\ \\ x + 6 = 0 \\ x = - 6

The length of the rectangle, which was represented by x, must be 9 (since it cannot be a negative number).

Length
x = 9
Width
2x - 6 = 2 \times 9- 6 = 18 - 6 = 12

Answer:
length = 9 kilometres
Width = 12 kilometres

A boat is heading towards a lighthouse, whose beacon-light is 139 feet above the
Novay_Z [31]

The horizontal distance between light house and boat is 1588.78 feet approximately.

The figure is given by,

Here, AB  = height of the lighthouse bacon light above the water = 139 feet

Now angle ACB = 5 degree

Let the horizontal distance of light house from the boat = BC = x feet

So by trigonometric function we get,

tan 5 = AB/BC

tan 5 = 139/x

x = 139/tan 5 = 1588.78 (approximately)

Hence the horizontal distance between light house and boat is 1588.78 feet approximately.
