Answer:

The horizontal component of force is 1.99 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Force = 2.8 Newtons.

The attached image shows the arrangement.

Angle made by the water stream with the ground

\theta = 30^\circ

The horizontal component is given by:

|F|\cos \theta\\=2.3\cos(30)\\\\=2.3 \times \dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\\\\=1.99

Thus, the horizontal component of force is 1.99 pounds.

How do I find each measure? Please I need answers ASAP it's due at 1:50
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Angle CAD is 44 degrees

Angle ACD is 44 degrees

Angle ACB is 136 degrees

Angle ABC is 22 degrees

Explanation:

29. Triangle ADC is an isosceles triangle because it has two equal sides.

If segments AD and DC are congruent, then segment AC is the base and the base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

Let x be angle CAD.

Let's go ahead x;

\begin{gathered} 92+x+x=180\text{ (sum of angles in a triangle)} \\ 92+2x=180 \\ 2x=180-92 \\ 2x=88 \\ x=\frac{88}{2} \\ \therefore x=44^{\circ} \end{gathered}

Therefore, measure of angle CAD is 44 degrees.

30. Measure of angle ACD is 44 degrees (Base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal)

31. Let angle ACB be y,

Let's go ahead and find measure of angle ACB;

\begin{gathered} 44+y=180\text{     (angles on a straight line)} \\ y=180-44 \\ \therefore y=136^{\circ} \end{gathered}

So measure of angle ACB is 136 degrees.

32. Let angle ABC be z.

Triangle ACB is also an isosceles triangle so the base angles are the same.

Let's go ahead and find z;

\begin{gathered} 136+z+z=180_{}\text{    (sum of angles in a triangle)} \\ 138+2z=180 \\ 2z=180-136 \\ 2z=44 \\ z=\frac{44}{2} \\ \therefore z=22^{\circ} \end{gathered}

So measure of angle ABC is 22 degrees.

That’s not enough information to say how long he could do it. He could go slower or faster than her but by how much if so. So it’s not enough info.

The perimeter of a triangle is when u add all of the sides together
(8x - 7w) + (2x + 6y) + (3y + 5w) = 
10x + 9y - 2w is ur perimeter

8w + 12x - 9y
8w + 12x - 9y
8w + 12x + 5y
8w + 12x - 9y

the 1st, 2nd, and 4th answer choices are the same....so 3 of them are equal

What are three collinear points in the figure below?
algol [13]

Answer:

B. W,V,Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Collinear points are two more points in the same plane that lie in a straight line.

From the diagram, Z is the intersection of the two diagonals of quadrilateral VXWY.

The points V, Z and W lie along the same diagonal, hence they are collinear.

The point y, Z, and X also lie along the same diagonal, these are also collinear.

The correct choice is B
