The measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

Let x = length of base and leg

The formula for perimeter of isosceles trapezoid is P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
Where: b = base

       P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
     28 = 3x + 5x + 2(x)
     28 = 8x + 2x
28/10 = 10x/10
    2.8 = x

Now, substitute the values:
       P = b₁ + b₂ + 2(leg)
     28 = 3(2.8) + 5(2.8) + 2(2.8)
     28 = 8.4 + 14 + 5.6
     28 = 28

Hence the measurements are:
b₁ = 8.4 inches; b₂ = 14 inches; leg₁ = 2.8 inches; leg₂ = 2.8 inches

Use Hooke's Law to determine the work done by the variable force in the spring problem. A force of 450 newtons stretches a sprin
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

The work done is 202.50Nm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

F =450N

x_1 = 30cm

x_2 = 60cm

Required

The work done

First, we calculate the spring constant (k)

F = kx_1

450N = k *30cm

k = \frac{450N}{30cm}

k =15N/cm

So:

F = kx_1

F(x) = 15x

The work done using Hooke's law is:

W =\int\limits^a_b {F(x)} \, dx

This gives:

W =\int\limits^{60}_{30} {15x} \, dx

Rewrite as:

W =15\int\limits^{60}_{30} {x} \, dx

Integrate

W =15 \frac{x^2}{2}|\limits^{60}_{30}

This gives:

W =15 *\frac{60^2 - 30^2}{2}

W =15 *\frac{2700}{2}

W =15 *1350

W =20250N-cm

Convert to Nm

W =\frac{20250Nm}{100}

W =202.50Nm

Richard bought a pair of shoes for $37.00, a tie for $22.00, and a new belt for $17.00. If the sales tax is 7.5%, how much sales
nadezda [96]

It seems to me, that if you were to add the price of all three items together, then multiply by 7.5%, you'd have the answer.  Remember that 7.5% = .075 ... in other words, that is the number you would multiply the sum of the items by.  Does that help?

The right triangle shown has angles X, Y, and Z and side lengths a, b, and
laiz [17]
So attached is a picture of the triangle you are talking about and listed under are the choices:

A.) Cos Z=b/c 
B.) Sin X=c/b 
C.) Tan X=b/a 
<span>D.) Tan Z=a/b
</span>
The answer would then be B. SinX = c/b.

Just remember SOH CAH TOA:

Sinθ=  Opposite         Cosθ =    Adjacent             Tanθ=   Opposite
         Hypotenuse                   Hypotenuse                        Adjacent

Using the triangle in the scenario, you just need to identify which side is which. 

Given m∠Z
Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c

SinZ=  a         CosZ = b             TanZ= a 
            c                      c                        b

Given m∠X:

Adjacent = b
Opposite = a
Hypotenuse = c

SinX= <u> b </u>        CosX =<span><u> a </u></span>            TanX=<span><u> b </u></span>
            c                      c                        a

So the answer is B. 

Attached is a picture of how I assigned the sides depending on the angle used.
