Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other side of the rectangle be y. The perimeter of the rectangle is expressed as P = 2(x+y)

Given P = 30ft, on substituting P = 30 into the expression;

30 = 2(x+y)

x+y = 15

y = 15-x

Also since the area of the rectangle is xy;

A = xy

Substitute y = 15-x into the area;

A = x(15-x)

A = 15x-x²

The function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides is A = 15x-x²

The side of length x yields the greatest area when dA/dx = 0

dA/dx = 15-2x

15-2x = 0

-2x = -15

x = -15/-2

x = 7.5 ft

Hence the side length, x that yields the greatest area is 7.5ft.

Since y = 15-x

y = 15-7.5

y = 7.5

Area of the rectangle = 7.5*7.5

Area of the rectangle = 56.25ft²

Hello!

Let O be the center of the sphere, A the tangency point and B the location of the satellite.

m<ABO = 1/2m(b) = 1/2 * 138 = 69

m<OAB = 90

m<AOB = 180 - 90 - 69 = 21

21 * 2 = 42

The answer is 42°

Hope this helps!

WILL GIVE BRAINLIST AS SOON AS I CAN is this 32, maybe? i have no idea.​

Answer:

y ≈ 32.0°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the sine ratio to find y

sin y = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse} = \frac{9}{17}, thus

y = sin^{-1} ( \frac{9}{17} ) ≈ 32.0° ( nearest tenth )
