Step-by-step explanation:

Let length is x and breadth is y.

The formula for the area and the perimeter of a rectangle is given by :

A = xy

P = 2(x+y)

Here, A = 8 mi² and P = 16 miles

Putting all the values,

xy = 8

y=8/x ......(1)

2(x+y) = 16

x+y = 8 .....(2)

Put equation (2) in equation (1) as follows :

x+\dfrac{8}{x}=8\\\\x^2+8=8x\\\\x^2-8x+8=0

When we solve, we get :

x = 6.82 miles, 1.17 miles

Put the value of x in equation (1)

When x = 6.82 miles,

y = 8/6.82

y = 1.17 miles

When x = 1.17 miles,

y = 8/1.17

y = 6.82 miles

Hence, the dimension of the field is 6.82 miles and 1.17 miles.

You are standing at point C, 45 feet from the Point State Park fountain in Pittsburgh, PA. The distance from you to a point of t
bearhunter [10]

The tangent line DC is perpendicular to the radius of the park

The length of AC is 245 feet

<h3>How to determine the distance AC?</h3>

To calculate the distance AC, we start by calculating the length of AB using:

DC^2 = (BC + AB) * BC

So, we have:

105^2 = (45 + AB) * 45

Evaluate the exponent

11025 = (45 + AB) * 45

Divide both sides by 45

245 = 45 + AB

Rewrite as:

AB + 45 = 245

From the figure, we have:

AC = AB + 45

Substitute AB + 45 = 245

AC = 245

Hence, the length of AC is 245 feet
