Answer:
Let the Width(W) =X feet
then Length(L) = (2X-3)feet
Area of the rectangle (A)=77 square feet
A = L× W
L×W=A
(2X-3) × X = 77
2X²- 3X =77
2X²-3X -77=0
Solving it using the factorization method
2X²-14X+11X-77=0
(2X²-14X)+(11X-77)=0
2X(X-7) + 11(X-7)=0
(2X+11)(X-7) =0
When 2X+11=0
X= -11/2
When X-7=0
X = 7
Therefore X= 7
Width = X feet
= 7feet
The width is 7feet
Length = (2X-3)feet
= (2×7) -3)feet
=(14-3)feet
=11feet

Answer:
Measure of ∠BCP is 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the circle in which measure of arc BC is 72°
we have to find the measure of angle BCP.
m∠BOC=∠2=72°
By theorem angle subtended at the centre is twice the angle formed at the circumference of circle.
∴ ∠2=2∠1 ⇒ 72=2∠1
⇒ ∠1=36°
By alternate segment theorem which states that
The angle formed between a chord and a tangent through one of the end points of chord is equals to angle in alternate segment.
⇒ ∠3=∠1=36°
Hence, measure of ∠BCP is 36°
