Answer:

36 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the side of the square = x cm.

As, side of the square is 3 cm less than and 2 cm more than the sides of the rectangle.

Thus, the sides of the rectangle will be (x+3) and (x-2)

<em>Also, it is given that, 'The area of the square is 30 cm² less than the area of the rectangle'.</em>

As, Area of the square = x^{2}

Area of the rectangle = (x+3)(x-2)

Thus, we have

(x+3)(x-2)-x^{2}=30

i.e. x^2-2x+3x-6-x^{2}=30

i.e. x-6=30

i.e. x=36

Thus, the side of the square is 36 cm.

The height of the ceiling is 162.31 meters

The situation will form a right angle triangle.

<h3>Right angle triangle:</h3>

Right triangle has one of its angles as 90 degree. Therefore, the sides can be found using trigonometric ratios

The triangle formed, the theodolite distance from the spotlight is the  adjacent side. Therefore,

tan 62.7 = opposite / adjacent

tan 62.7 = x / 83

cross multiply

x = 83 × tan 62.7

x = 160.809554025 m

Therefore, the height of the ceiling form the ground is as follows:

  • 160.809554025 + 1.5 = 162.309554025 m

Which shows a function that is decreasing<br>over its entire graph? Working on it now need ASAP ​
PtichkaEL [24]

One thing everyone always forgets is we don't usually see the <em>entire</em> graph.  Once out of the frame, these functions can do anything they want.

From what we can see, only the bottom right one is always decreasing.

Answer: bottom right

By the way, the top right graph (a vertical line) isn't a function.
