Answer:

2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the length of the sides of the squares, then the height of the box is also x.  The length and width of the base are 10−2x and 20−2x.  The area of the base is the length times the width.

96 = (10 − 2x) (20 − 2x)

96 = 200 − 20x − 40x + 4x²

0 = 4x² − 60x + 104

0 = x² − 15x + 26

0 = (x − 2) (x − 13)

x = 2 or 13

Since x < 5, x = 2.

So the length of the sides of the squares is 2 cm.

Set F1 = 5N at 0 degrees, F2= 5N at 90 degrees, F3 = 5N at 270 degrees and run the simulation. Using trigonometry, what net forc
Mrac [35]

Answer: find the solution in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use resolution of forces by resolving into x - component and y- component.

X - component.

Sum of forces = F1 - F3 - F4cos 15

Sum of forces = 0

5 - 5 - 0.97F4 = 0

- 0.97 F4 = 0

F4 = 0

Y - component

Sum of forces = F2 + F4 sin 15

Sum of forces = 0

5 + 0.26F4 = 0

0.26 F4 = -5

F4 = -5/0.26

F4 = -19.23 N

Simulating F4 back into the equation

Sum of forces = F1 - F3 - F4cos 15

- F4cos Ø = 0

- (-19.23) cos Ø = 0

Cos Ø = 0

Ø = 1

Does the angle formed approximate 15 degrees ? NO

Find x show ur work !!
Elis [28]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle's angles add up to 180 degrees, so 180-90 (the right angle) is 90 degrees. That means that

4x+6+3x+14 = 90. Then we simplify so

7x + 20 = 90. Then we can subtract 20 from each side so

7x = 70. Then, we find that

x = 10.
