Answer:

b. 45 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the forces exerted by the two miners = 25 + 20

                                           = 45 N

Since after applying a force of 45 N by the two miners the cart remained stationary, it implies that a resistance force of at least 45 N acts against their push. Thus, the force exerted by the road could be equal to 45 N or greater than 45 N.

Probably, if the sum of the forces applied is 46 N, the cart would move. Which depends on the value of resistance force applied by the road. Thus, the appropriate answer from the given option is B.

Since the force applied on the cart equals the resistance force exerted by the road, the cart would not move.

The ratio of the perimeters of two similar triangles is 4:3. What are the areas of these triangles if the sum of their areas is
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

the areas of these triangles are 83.2cm² and 46.8cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If the triangles are similar and the ratio of the perimeter ois 4:3, then the areas are in the following ratio:

4²:3²

 16:9                                                                      

2. The sum of their areas is 65 cm², then, you can calculate the area of the larger triangle as following:

130(16/16+9)

130(0.64)

=83.2cm²

3. The area of the smaller triangle is:

130(9/16+9)

130(0.36)

46.8cm²

Solve for p.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

p = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

5p - 10 = + 4(1 + 3p)

first get rid of the bracquetes:

5p - 10 = + 4*1 + 4*3p

5p - 10 = + 4 + 12p

subtract left and right of = sign by 5p

5p -5p - 10 = + 4 + 12p -5p

0 - 10 = + 4 + (12p -5p)

subtract left and right of = sign by 4

-10 -4 = 4 -4 + ( 7p )

re arrange

7p + 0 = -14

divide left and right of = sign by 7

7/7 p = -14/7

p = -2
