A rectangle is placed with one side on the x-axis and two vertices symmetrically placed above on a circle of radius 9, centered at the origin. Find a function A(θ) for the area of the rectangle as a function of the angle θ between the x-axis and the vertex in Quadrant I. 9 Simplify your function so it only uses one sine and no cosines.

The rectangle shown in the figure is inscribed in a semicircle of radius 2 . Let $P=(x, y)$ be the point in quadrant I that is a vertex of the rectangle and is on the circle. As the point $(x, y)$ on the circle changes, a variety of rectangles are obtained. (a) Express the area $A$ of the rectangles as a function of $x$. (b) Express the perimeter $p$ of the rectangles as a function of $x$.
