It should be A if i am correct
Answer:
140
Step-by-step explanation:
The forces result in a right triangle. To obtain the resultant force, one can simply use the Pythagorean theorem. 1250 lbf and 2650 lbf both act as the legs of the triangle. Obtaining the hypotenuse via the theorem would yield the resultant force. This is done below:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
c^2 = (1250)^2 + (2650)^2
c = 2930.017 lbf
Therefore, the magnitude of the resultant force is approximately equal to 2930 lbf.
Answer:
Distance covered by the bird before meeting the water is: 51.264 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that if the bird catches the fish in 2 seconds, then the fish was able to dive down a total of 6 feet before being caught:

So the bird needs to fly in the direction of the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle (see attached image) that has one leg of length (24 ft + 6 ft) = 30 ft, and another one 22.5 ft (half the width of the river.
Such hypotenuse is (using Pythagoras theorem):

Now, in order to find the distance D the bird covers from the top of the tree to the water (marked in red in our image), we use similar triangles. The bigger triangle is that of legs 60 ft and 22.5 ft and hypotenuse 64.08 ft.
The smallest triangle we use in the proportion is the one shaded yellow in the image, which has one leg equal to 24 ft, and unknown hypotenuse:
So we make the proportion between known legs, and hypotenuses:

AB is similar to YZ
AC is similar to YX
CB is similar to XZ
you put the triangles next to each other. since they are the same shape. same kind of triangle. one is just bigger than the other.
