Answer: The height is: 10.61 units.
{or, write as: "(7.5 √2) units"}.
_____________________________________________________
Explanation:
_____________________________________________________
Area of a triangle: A = 1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * b * h ;

Given: b = 1.5 * h ;
A = 75 units²
______________________________
Solve for "h" ("height") ; h = 1.5 b ;
_________________________________
So, we solve for "b" ; then we plug that value into the equation:

→ h = 1.5 b ; to get the height, "h" ;
______________________________________________________
→ 75 = 1/2 * (b) (1.5 b) ;
______________________________________________________
Multiply the ENTIRE equation by "2" ;
to get rid of the fraction and decimals ;
______________________________________________________
→ 2 * { 75 = 1/2 * (b) (1.5 b) } ;
______________________________________________________
→ 150 = b * 3b ;
______________________________________________________
→ 150 = 3 b² ;

↔ 3 b² = 150 ;
______________________________________________________

Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "3" ;
_________________________________________________
→ 3 b² / 3 = 150 / 3 ;
_________________________________________________
→ b² = 50 ;
_________________________________________________
Now, take the POSITIVE square root of each side of the equation;
to isolate "b" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "b" ;
_________________________________________________
   → √(b²) =  √50
<span>_________________________________________________
</span>   → b =  √50
_________________________________________________
→ √50 = √25 *√2 = 5√2

h = (1.5) b = (1.5) *(5) (

_________________________________________________
→ h = (7.5 √2) units ;

or, (7.5) * (√2) = 10.6066017177982129 units ;
_______________________________________________________
  → round to 10.61 units .

Two forces with magnitudes of 150 and 75 pounds act on an object at angles of 30° and 150°, respectively. Find the direction and

Anastaziya [24]

The problem is modelled in the first picture shown below

To work out the resultant vector, we modelled the vectors 150N and 75N as triangle AOB is shown in the second picture with AB as the resultant vector.

We use the cosine rule to work out the length AB
$AB^{2}= 75^{2}+ 150^{2}-(2*75*150*cos(60))$
$AB^{2} =28125-11250$
$AB^{2}=16875$
$AB= \sqrt{16875} =130$ (nearest whole number)

The third picture shows the full diagram of the vectors

To work out the direction of the resultant vector, we use the sin rule to find the size of angle A and angle B

Angle A
$\frac{130}{sin(60)}= \frac{75}{sin(A)}$
$130sin(A)=75sin(60)$
$sin(A)= \frac{75sin(60)}{130}$
$sin(A)=0.4996300406$
$A= sin^{-1}(0.4996300406)$
$A=30$ (rounded to nearest whole number)

Angle B
$B=180-60-30=90$

Direction is 60° toward negative x-axis

Answer: Magnitude 130N and direction 60° toward negative x-axis
