Answer:

a) weight  of the car = 2816,1 lbs

b) 2773 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The equilibrium force is 490 lbs. That force keep the car at rest, then

∑ Fy  =  0     and  ∑Fx  =  0

Forces acting on the car:

The external force   490 lbs

weight of the car   uknown

Normal force

sin∠10°  =  0,174

cos∠10° = 0.985

∑Fx  =  0         mg*sin10°- 490 = 0      ∑Fy =  0      mg*cos10° - N  =  0

mg*0,174= 490

mg  =  490 / 0,174

mg = 2816,1 lbs

weight  of the car = 2816,1 lbs

The Normal force

mg*cos10° - N  =  0        2816,1 * 0,985 = N

N = 2773 lbs

Then equal force in magnitude and in opposite direction will car exets on the driveway

I need to find the perimeter and area of the regular polygon.
mezya [45]
The area of a polygon is given by the formula Area = ap/2 where a is the length of the apothem and p is the perimeter. The apothem is a line from the center of the polygon perpendicular to a side.

Depending on the formula you know, you can find the length of a side in 1 of 2 ways. 

The first way uses a triangle. Using the radius of the polygon you can create 8 congruent triangles. The center angle will be 360 / 8 = 45 and two side lengths of 20. You can find the length of the base using the law of cosines.

c^2 = 20^2 + 20^2 - 2(20)(20)(cos 45)
c^2 = 400 + 400 - 800(cos 45)
c^2 = 800 - 800(cos 45)
c = sqrt(800 - 800(cos 45)
c = 15.31

The second way is to use this formula:
r = s / (2 sin(180 / n))
20 = s / (2 sin(180/8)
(20)(2)sin(22.5) = s
(40)sin(22.5) = s
s = 15.31

We need to calculate the perimeter. As there are 8 sides (8)(15.31) = 122.48
Now we need to calculate the apothem using

a = S / (2 tan (180 / n)
a = 15.31 / (2 tan (180 / 8))
a = 18.48

Now solve for the area

Area = ap/2
Area = (18.48)(122.48)/2
Area = 1131.72

perimeter = 122.48
area = 1131.72

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$1.25 & $10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c be the cost of renting one chair and t be the cost of renting table. We're given two equations:

#1. 5c + 3t = 37

#2. 2c + 6t =64

We have a system of equations. Using our system of equations calculator, we can solve this problem any of 3 ways below:

  • Chairs (c) cost $1.25
  • Tables (t) cost $10.25
