Answer:

The sailboat moves southward at a force of 1000 Newton

Explanation:

The sailboat is moving south at 2500 newtons. The opposite force is only 1500 newtons, which is less than 2500 units. The greater force cancels out the lesser force. In order for the boat to be stopped or pushed back, the water and air resistance would of had to of been greater than or equal to 2500 Newtons. Because of this opposite force, the boat continues to move but with a lesser amount of force. You can use subtraction to find the remaining force the boat has.

2500 Newtons - 1500 Newtons = 1000 Newtons

Tju [1.3M]
Answer: 84

Steps:

1. Find distance between (-8,-6) and (4,-6) using distance formula:

√ (4 - (-8))^2 + ((-6) - (-6))^2
√ (12)^2 + (0)^2
√ 144 + 0
√ 144
12

2. Find distance between (1,2) and (8,2) using distance formula:

√ (8-1)^2 + (2-2)^2
√ (7)^2 + (0)^2
√ 49 + 0
√ 49
7

3. Multiply found values to find area

A = l x w
A = 12 x 7
A = 84

E) what would be the total cost of purchasing the number of shirts needed to use your coupon—after your coupon is applied and a
alexgriva [62]

a = your total price before the coupon and sales tax.

b = your coupon's given discount (for example, 25% off)

c = your discounted total

(a - (ab)) = c

c + (.075c) = your answer.


With some numbers plugged in:

a = 50$, b = -25%

50 - (50 x .25)

50 - 12.5 = 37.50$

37.5 + (37.5 x .075)

37.5 + 2.82* = 40.32$

So you would have to pay $40.32
