When squaring fractions, both the numerator and the denominator are squared:
12. (4/5)² = 16/25
13. (-5/12)² = 25/144
14. (13/6)² = 169/36
|AC| = 2|DE|
⇒
4x - 2 = 2(x + 6) = 2x + 12
2x = 14
x = 7
⇒
|AC| = 26
The answer
<span>the third rope to counterbalance Sam and Charlie is F
and vectF +vectF1 +vectF2 =vect0
let's consider axis
y'y </span>vectF = -F
vectF 1= F1cos60
vectF 2= F2cos45
-F = -F1cos60-F2co45
so F= F1cos60+F2co45= 350x0.5+400x0.7=457.84 pounds
Yes because it is a linear equation
