Question 18 (3 points) Solve the problem. (3 points) A solar reflector is made using 31 identical triangular-shaped mirrors, each having sides 2.4m, 2. 3m, 1.5 m. What is the total surface area of the reflector?
A) 33 m2
B) 86 m2
C) 52 m2
D) 34 m2
Answer:
The value is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The sides are a = 2.4 m
b = 2.3 m
c = 1.5 m
Generally the semi perimeter is mathematically represented as

=> 
=> 
Generally the using Heron's formula we have that the surface are a is mathematically represented as

=> 
=> 
Answer: FR=2.330kN
Explanation:
Write down x and y components.
Fx= FSin30°
Fy= FCos30°
Choose the forces acting up and right as positive.
∑(FR) =∑(Fx )
(FR) x= 5-Fsin30°= 5-0.5F
(FR) y= Fcos30°-4= 0.8660-F
Use Pythagoras theorem
F2R= √F2-11.93F+41
Differentiate both sides
2FRdFR/dF= 2F- 11.93
Set dFR/dF to 0
2F= 11.93
F= 5.964kN
Substitute value back into FR
FR= √F2(F square) - 11.93F + 41
FR=√(5.964)(5.964)-11.93(5.964)+41
FR= 2.330kN
The minimum force is 2.330kN
