Answer:
Explanation:
AB = BC
=> Triangle ABC is an Isosceles Triangle
Thus, Angle C = Angle A
DE = BE
=> Triangle DEB is an Isosceles Triangle
Thus, Angle D = Angle B
Proof that triangle ABC and DEB are similar:
Angle DBE = Angle A (corresponding angle)
Angle BDE = Angle C (Both Triangle are Isosceles, if one pair of the angle are equal then the other pair should also be equal)
=> Triangle ABC ~ Triangle DEB (AA)
Therefore, Angle E = Angle B
Find angle B:
Angle C + Angle A + Angle B = 180
40 + 40 + angle B = 180
Angle B = 180 - 80
Angle B = 100 degree
But Angle B = Angle E = 100 degree
Therefore, Angle E = 100 degree
Answer:
(a) 218.6 N
(b) 97.14 N
Step-by-step explanation:
When the system is in equilibrium, the net torque on the system is zero.
AC = 1.5 m, CD = 2.3 m, DB = 5 - 1.5 - 2.3 = 1.2 m
Let the centre of gravity of plank is at G.
AG = 2.5 m, CG = 2.5 - 1.5 = 1 m, GB = 2.5 m
(a) Let the reaction at C is R and at D is R'.
R + R' = 29 x 9.8 = 284.2 N ... (1)
Take the torque about C.
29 x 9.8 x CG = R' x GD
29 x 9.8 x 1 = R' x 1.3
R' = 218.6 N
(b) Take the torque about D.
6 x 9.8 x AD = R x CD
6 x 9.8 x (1.5 + 2.3) = R x 2.3
R = 97.14 N
500 divides 25 is equal 20
15 square feet because the scale is 2 in:1 ft so it would be 10/2 which is 5. This means the flag is 5 ft x 3 ft aka 15 square feet
