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.

BEST ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!!
Vika [28.1K]
A: 
An independent variable could be how long she works. (Well it's not really independent I guess... Sorta depends.)
A dependent variable could be how much money she makes, depending on how long she works.

B:
Umm, like:
(1, 7)
If 1 was how many hours she worked and $7 is how much money she made, and therefore x would be how many hours she worked and y would be how much total money she made.
(2, 14)
(3, 21)

C: An equation would be 7x = y.
