The description of the question provided above points out to the famous Big Bang Theory. In addition, this theory is among the most accepted by cosmologists because it fits like a glove to the phenomenon the universe is experiencing right now: it is expanding and distances between celestial bodies are getting farther and farther.
Area of triangle, ECD
Area, A= 60 square inches
Base, b= 12in
Height, h=?
Note that Area of a triangle = 1/2×b×h
Substitute the values: 60 = 1/2×12×h
60 = 6h
h = 10in
The height is 10in.
Coincidentally, the height of the triangle is also the side of the square.
So side of square, L = 10in
Area of a square = L^2 or Side × Side
Area = 10 × 10
Area = 100 square inches.
The area of the trapezoid = area of square + area of triangle
The are of trapezoid = 100 + 60 inches squared = 160inches squared.
Since the 2-watt jobber has to dissipate twice as much power as the smaller unit I would expect it to have double the surface area. So if they are the usual cylindrical striped resistors then the larger one could have either double the length or else 1.4 times the radius of the smaller one.
Yes, refer to Newton’s first law
