<span>a) All the 26m should be used to bent into a square to maximize the total area (= 42.25 m2)
b) 1.4136m should be bent into a square and the rest (= 24.586m) should be bent into an equilateral triangle to minimize the total area (= 29.0835m2)</span>
It can never be shorter than a component - magnitude of avector is the square root of the sum of the components squared, and a square function never produces a negative number. However, it can be the same size as its component, if that component is the only one
The mass of a plastic spoon
Answer:
Distance: -30.0 cm; image is virtual, upright, enlarged
Explanation:
We can find the distance of the image using the lens equation:

where:
f = 15.0 cm is the focal length of the lens (positive for a converging lens)
p = 10.0 cm is the distance of the object from the lens
q is the distance of the image from the lens
Solving for q,

The negative sign tells us that the image is virtual (on the same side of the object, and it cannot be projected on a screen).
The magnification can be found as

The magnification gives us the ratio of the size of the image to that of the object: since here |M| = 3, this means that the image is 3 times larger than the object.
Also, the fact that the magnification is positive tells us that the image is upright.
