Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

We start out by observing that Triangles MKR & ACD are similar or proportional

\begin{gathered} MK=21;AC=\text{?} \\ MR=24;AD=28\frac{4}{5} \\ KR=CD=\text{?} \end{gathered}

We will solve for the missing side by using the similar triangle theorem. This is shown below:~

\begin{gathered} \Delta MKR\approx\Delta ACD \\ \frac{MK}{AC}=\frac{MR}{AD} \\ \frac{21}{AC}=\frac{24}{28\frac{4}{5}} \\ \text{Cross multiply, we have:} \\ 24\cdot AC=28\frac{4}{5}\cdot21 \\ AC=\frac{28\frac{4}{5}\cdot21}{24}=25\frac{1}{5} \\ AC=25\frac{1}{5} \end{gathered}

a method for finding the maximum or minimum value of a quantity that is subject to various limitations is called
Sveta_85 [38]

The minimum or maximum value of a quantity are what are used to maximize or minimize a function.

<em>The method for finding these minimum or maximum value is linear programming.</em>

<em />

Take for instance, the following parameters:

\mathbf{Maximize\ z = 2x + 3y}

Subject to:

\mathbf{2x + y \ge 10}

\mathbf{x - y < 2}

\mathbf{x ,y >0}

The above is an illustration of a linear programming.

It is useful in the following areas:

  • To formulate real life problems
  • To get an optimal solution
  • To maximize profit and minimize cost
  • Etc
