Answer:

<h2>The distance to the Eath's Horizon from point P is 352.8 mi, approximately.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

You observe the problem from a graphical perspective with the image attached.

Notice that side x is tangent to the circle, which means is perpendicular to the radius which is equal to 3,959 mi.

We have a right triangle, that means we need to use the Pythagorean's Theorem, to find the distance to the Earth's Horizon from point P.

The hypothenuse is 3959 + 15.6 = 3974.6 mi.

(3974.6)^{2}=x^{2}  +(3959)^{2} \\x^{2} =15,797,445.16 - 15,673,681\\x=\sqrt{123,764.16} \approx 351.8

Therefore, the distance to the Eath's Horizon from point P is 352.8 mi, approximately.

A rectangle has an area of (x2 − 17x + 72) square units. Since the area of a rectangle is determined using the formula, A = lw,
klasskru [66]

Answer:

length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor

x^2 - 17x + 72

We need two numbers whose product is 72 and whose sum is -17.

The numbers are -8 and -9.

x^2 - 17x + 72 = (x - 8)(x - 9)

Answer: length = (x − 8) units and width = (x − 9) units
