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.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]
The length is two times its width, and the perimeter equals 24. 

All the sides added up equal 24.

4 and 8 could be the width and the length of the rectangle.

4*2= 8 and

4+4+8+8= 24

width= 4 length= 8

I hope this helps!
