A piece of art weighing 30 pounds is hung from two wires as shown below. Each wire is supporting half of the weight of the picture. However, since the wires extend out at an angle, they are also imparting force towards the left and right. Therefore, the force on each wire is greater than 15 pounds. Look at the diagram above with the vectors. Use trigonometry to find ||→ux||and ||→vx||. ||→ux||=  pounds    ||→vx||=  pounds   
What is the total force (in pounds) exerted on each wire?
||→u||= pounds    ||→v||=  pounds   ​​

answer: idk wbu

step-by-step explanation: umm..

my dear correct answer is option number 3

isocolese triangle

we know that the line connect a and b is the hyptonuse

so first find the hypotonuse length using the distance formula, call the length c

since it is an isocolese triangle, the lengths of the legs are the same

using pythagorean theorem,

in this case, a=b since isocolese triangle so we get

or

we can find c so we can find the distances

we know that if we draw 2 circles, each has center at a and b, and find where they intersect, we can the 2 possible locations for c

if a has center at (xa,ya) and b has center at (xb,yb), then we can solve where

and

intersect to find where they intersect

i'm not going to put an example because i have to go to class. i hope this explanation is enough

answer is  

a.

5.56

hope you get this right.
