How is the area of a sail related to the weight of the pilot on a hang glider?

The area of the sail is correlated to the weight of the pilot on the hang glider because the surface area of the sail needs to be able to lift ≤ (greater than or equal to) weight of the pilot.

The <u>correct answer</u> is:

The larger the surface area of the sail, the heavier the pilot can be and safely use the glider.

Explanation:

A hang glider must be able to support the weight of the pilot.  The air pushing up under the sail (wing) of the glider helps support the weight.  The more sail (wing) that you have, the more air pushing up, and the more weight it can hold.

Find the base of an isosceles triangle whose area is 60 cm² and the length of one of its equal sides is 13 cm. ​
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Base = 24 cm or 10cm

Step-by-step explanation:

REMEMBER:
An isosceles triangle ABC with base BC = ‘b' & height AD = ‘h' & its equal sides =13 cm & area = 60 cm²

Using the formulas

A=\frac{bh_b}{2}

h_b=\sqrt{a^2-\frac{b^2}{4} }

There are 2 solutions for b

b=2\sqrt{2}   \frac{A}{\sqrt{a^2+\sqrt{a^4-4A^2} } } =2*\sqrt{2} *\frac{60}{\sqrt{13^2+\sqrt{13^4-4*60^2} } } ≈ 10cmb=2\sqrt{2}   \frac{A}{\sqrt{a^2+\sqrt{a^4-4A^2} } } =2*\sqrt{2} *\frac{60}{\sqrt{13^2-\sqrt{13^4-4*60^2} } }=24cm

Less complex:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * b * h = 60

=> h = 120/b

In right triangle ABD

13² = h² + b² /4 ( by Pythagoras law)

=>169 = 120²/b² + b²/4

=>676 b² = 57600 + b^4

=> b^4 - 676 b² + 57600 = 0

=> b² = 676 +- √(676² - 4*57600) / 2

=> b²= 676 +- √(226576) /2

=> b² = (676 +- 476 )/2

=> b² = 1152/2 , 200 /2

=> b² = 576 , 100

=> b = 24, 10

So, Base = 24 cm or 10cm
