Answer:

<u>Perimeter</u>:

= 58 m (approximate)

= 58.2066 or 58.21 m (exact)

= 208 m² (approximate)

= 210.0006 or 210 m² (exact)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following dimensions of a rectangle:

length (L) = $\sqrt{252}$ meters

width (W) = $\sqrt{175}$ meters

The formula for solving the perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2(L + W) or 2L + 2W

The formula for solving the area of a rectangle is:

A = L × W

<h2>Approximate Forms:</h2>

In order to determine the approximate perimeter, we must determine the perfect square that is close to the given dimensions.

13² = 169

14² = 196

15² = 225

16² = 256

Among the perfect squares provided, 16² = 256 is close to 252 (inside the given radical for the length), and 13² = 169 (inside the given radical for the width). We can use these values to approximate the perimeter and the area of the rectangle.

P = 2(L + W)

P = 2(13 + 16)

P = 58 m (approximate)

A = L × W

A = 13 × 16

A = 208 m² (approximate)

<h2>Exact Forms:</h2>

L = $\sqrt{252}$ meters = 15.8745 meters

W = $\sqrt{175}$ meters = 13.2288 meters

P = 2(L + W)

P = 2(15.8745 + 13.2288)

P = 2(29.1033)

P = 58.2066 or 58.21 m

A = L × W

A = 15.8745 × 13.2288

A = 210.0006 or 210 m²

From a boat on the lake, the angle of elevation to the top of a cliff is 26°35'. If the base of the cliff is 85 feet from the bo

Trava [24]

Check the picture below

now, <span>26°35' is just 26bdegrees and 35 minutes

your calculator most likely will have a button [ </span><span>° ' " ] to enter degrees and minutes and seconds

there are 60 minutes in 1 degree and 60 seconds in 1 minute

so.. you could also just convert the 35' to 35/60 degrees

so </span> $\bf 26^o35'\implies 26+\frac{35}{60}\implies \cfrac{1595}{60}\iff \cfrac{319}{12}
\\\\\\
tan(26^o35')\iff tan\left[ \left( \cfrac{391}{12} \right)^o \right]$

now, the angle is in degrees, thus, make sure your calculator is in Degree mode
