ounds and 150 pounds, what is the resultant of the forces?
98 lb
192 lb
228 lb
236 lb

Answer:
option 4 ⇒ 236 lb.
Step-by-step explanation:
Best explanation of the question is as shown in the attached figure.
we will use the parallelogram method to calculate resultant force.
to get the length of the resultant force ⇒ use the cosines law
The cosine law is a² = b² + c² - 2 * b * c * cos (∠A)
Applying at the question where b = F₁ , c = F₂ and ∠A = ∠x
Given that F₁ = 100 pounds , F₂ = 150 pounds and ∠x = 180° - 40° = 140°
∴ (Resultant force)² = 100² + 150² - 2 * 100 * 150 * cos (∠140) = 55481
∴ Resultant force = √55481 = 235.54 ≅ 236 pounds
The answer is option 4 ⇒ 236 lb.

Answer:
Option A) (2.5,-1.3) is correct
The midpoint of the given line segment is M=(2.5,-1.3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the line segment with end points (3.5, 2.2) and (1.5, -4.8)
To find the mid point of these endpoints midpoint formula is
Let () be the point (3.5, 2.2) and (
) be the point (1.5, -4.8)
substituting the points in the formula
Therefore M=(2.5,-1.3)
The midpoint of the given line segment is M=(2.5,-1.3)
