I would say Aunt Melly needs an exterminator...lol

there are 20 heads...so u know there r gonna be 20 insects total
spiders (s) have 8 legs and ants (a) have 6 legs

s + a = 20 heads......s = 20 - a
8s + 6a = 136 legs

8(20 - a) + 6a = 136
160 - 8a + 6a = 136
-8a + 6a = 136 - 160
-2a = -24
a = -24/-2
a = 12

s + a = 20
s + 12 = 20
s = 20 - 12
s = 8

so there r 8 spiders and 12 ants

Answer:

Intensity of the vector is v= √37 ≈ 6.08 units and make angle ∡α ≈ 9.46° with east direction

Step-by-step explanation:

Required vector is consists of the two components

vx= 2+4=6 units  and vy= 1 unit and vx ⊥ vy

We will use Pythagorian theorem to find intensity of the vector v

v∧2 = vx∧2 + vy∧2 => v = √vx∧2 + vy∧2 = √6∧2 + 1∧2 = √36+1 = √37 ≈ 6.08 units

The angle ∡α between vector and east direction we wil find with tanα

tanα = 1/6 => α = arc tanα = arc 1/6 => α ≈ 9.46°

Good luck!!!
