Hello there!
To find the area of this rectangle, we must multiply the length times the width:
A=
Let's convert the mixed number into an improper fraction:
Do you see what I see?
16 and 8 can be reduced. Divide by 8:
Now multiply:
Hope it helps you!

Problem 1
Since point P is the tangent point, this means angle OPT is a right angle
angle OPT = 90 degrees
Let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the missing side 'a'
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 7^2 = 12^2
a^2 + 49 = 144
a^2 = 144 - 49
a^2 = 95
a = sqrt(95)
a = 9.7467943
a = 9.7

Let's use the sine and arcsine rule to find angle y
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(y) = 7/12
y = arcsin( 7/12 )
y = 35.6853347
y = 35.7
The value of y is approximate. Make sure your calculator is in degree mode. Arcsine is the same as inverse sine or

Problem 2
Focus on triangle OHP. This may or may not be a right triangle. The goal is to test if it is or not.
We use the converse of the Pythagorean theorem to check.
Recall that the converse of the Pythagorean theorem says: If a^2+b^2 = c^2 is a true equation, then the triangle is a right triangle. The value of c is always the longest side. The order of a and b doesn't matter.
In this case we have
- a = 7
- b = 13
- c = 16
Which leads to
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2 + 13^2 = 16^2
49 + 169 = 256
218 = 256
We get a false equation at the end, since both sides aren't the same number, which means the original equation is false.
We don't get a^2 + b^2 = c^2 to be true, therefore this triangle is not a right triangle.
Consequently, this means angle OPH cannot possible be 90 degrees (if it was then we'd have a right triangle). Therefore, point P is not a tangent point.
You follow the same basic idea for triangle OQH and show that point Q is not a tangent point either. Or you could use a symmetry argument to note that triangle OPH is a mirror reflection of triangle OQH over the line segment OH. This implies that whatever properties triangle OPH has, then triangle OQH has them as well for the corresponding pieces.
