The dimensions of the border is 1.5 feet for the garden

A rectangle is a quadrilateral with four sides and four angles in which opposite sides are equal and parallel.

The area of a rectangle = Length * breadth

Given that length of garden = 16 ft., width of garden = 12 ft.

It is surrounded by a mulch of width x, hence:

New length = 16 + x + x = 16 + 2x

New width = 12 + x + x = 12 + 2x

The area of garden = 16 + 2x(12 + 2x) = 192 + 56x + 4x²

Since the maximum area is 285 ft, hence:

192 + 56x + 4x² = 285

4x² + 56x - 93 = 0

x = 1.5 feet

The dimensions of the border is 1.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

DEFINITION: Besting: the clockwise totation (0° to 360°) from North to any line.

A) Calculate the bearings of D from A:

bearings of D from A =x

looking the picture:

x=48°+55°+180°

x+103°+180°

x=283°

B)Calculate the bearings of A from C:

bearings of A from C =y

180°+55°=y

y=235°

C) Calculate the distance between A and B:

The angle in B is 74° (Because 55°+51°+74°=180°)

Using the Law of sines:

\frac{19}{sin(74)} =\frac{AB}{sin(51)} \\\\AB=19sin(51)sin(74)\\AB=14,2\\\\

D)Calculate the distance between D and C:

Using the Law of cossines:

DC^{2} =27^{2} +19^{2} -2*27*19*cos(48)\\DC=20,09

E) A Helicopter is hovering at A at a height of 2.5Km, find angle of elevation of helicopter from C:

The triangle HBA is rectangle

\alpha =arctan(\frac{2,5}{19})

α=7,49°
