Answer:

<h2>Wedge Z requires the least amount of force to do a job.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

In physics, Work is defined as the energy needed to move certaing object through a certain distance. Specifically, the work done is directly proportional to the force exerted and the distance.

It's important to know that a change of point is needed to have actually work done, physically speaking. This means if the object doesn't move, then there's no work done.

Mathematically, the work is defined

W= F \times d

Isolating the force

F=\frac{W}{d}

So, notice that the distance is inversely proportional to the force needed, which means the less distance, more force we need.

Now, the problem is giving wides and slopes, which we can use to find heights. And we know already that the less distance we have, the greater force we need, or the most distance, the least force.

Let's find which wedge has the greatest vertical distance.

m=\frac{y}{x}

<h3>Wedge 1.</h3>

5=\frac{y}{2} \implies y=10

<h3>Wedge 2.</h3>

8=\frac{y}{4} \implies y=32

<h3>Wedge 3.</h3>

9=\frac{y}{3} \implies y=27

<h3>Wedge 4.</h3>

10=\frac{y}{5}\\ y=50

Notice that the last wedge has greater vertical distance, that means Wedge Z requires least amount of force to do a job.

A line segment is partitioned with a ratio 2:5, how many total parts has the segment been split into
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

7 parts

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the answer to this, we only simply to know the number of times in which the division was made.

This means that the total ratio of the lines is 2 +5 = 7. Meaning we have 7 different divisions.

The first division carries 2/7 while the second division carrues 5/7

NO LINKS!! Please help me with these graphs​
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

  • square: 9 square units
  • triangle: 24 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Using a suitable formula the area of a polygon can be computed from the coordinates of its vertices. You want the areas of the given square and triangle.

<h3>Square</h3>

The spreadsheet in the first attachment uses a formula for the area based on the given vertices. It computes half the absolute value of the sum of products of the x-coordinate and the difference of y-coordinates of the next and previous points going around the figure.

For this figure, going to that trouble isn't needed, as a graph quickly reveals the figure to be a 3×3 square.

The area of the square is 9 square units.

<h3>Triangle</h3>

The same formula can be applied to the coordinates of the vertices of a triangle. The spreadsheet in the second attachment calculates the area of the 8×6 triangle.

The area of the triangle is 24 square units.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

We have called the triangle an "8×6 triangle." The intention here is to note that it has a base of 8 units and a height of 6 units. Its area is half that of a rectangle with the same dimensions. These dimensions are readily observed in the graph of the vertices.
