<span> He could draw a diagram of a rectangle with dimensions x – 1 and x – 6 and then show the area is equivalent to the sum of x2, –x, –6x, and 6.</span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Brent uses a rectangle that models the area = (x² - 7x + 6)

Now we will factorize this expression

x² - 7x + 6 = x² - 6x - x + 6

= x(x - 6) - 1(x - 6)

= (x - 1)(x - 6)

Therefore, (x -1) and (x - 6) will represent the sides of a rectangle so that multiplication of the sides will model the area of the rectangle.

We know the triangle is an isosceles triangle. So, we use the Pythagorean Theorem.

a^2+b^2=c^2

The c would be 22, because it's the longest edge. Now find a or b. They are the same, that is how you find the two sides of the triangle for part A.

To find the area of the triangle, the forumla is a=hb/2

Plug in the numbers for that formula and the answer would be found for part B.

I hope I helped.

Answer:

$F^{'}=(250\sqrt{3},250 })$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have F´ =500 and $\alpha$ =30º, so x and y components:

F´ = $(F_{x} , F_{y})$ this is

$F_{x} = F^{'} *Cos\alpha$

$F_{y} = F^{'} *Sin\alpha$

$F_{x} = F`*Cos\alpha =500*Cos30=500*\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} =250\sqrt{3}$

$F_{y}=F*Sin\alpha =500*Sin30=500*\frac{1}{2}=250$ ;

Finally

F' = $(250\sqrt{3} , 250)$
