Answer:

x = 10/√2 ≈ 7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Comenzaremos por dividir el triángulo en dos partes y definir H, como en la figura adjunta.

Aplicando el teorema de Tales, sabemos que:

\dfrac{l/2}{H}=\dfrac{x/2}{h}\\\\\\\dfrac{l}{H}=\dfrac{x}{h}

También sabemos que, dado que el tirángulo menor es la mitad que el triángulo mayor, la relación entre áreas es:

\dfrac{A}{A_x}=\dfrac{lH/2}{xh/2}=\dfrac{lH}{xh}=2

Dado que formamos dos triángulos rectángulos, podemos despejar el valor de H como:

(l/2)^2+H^2=l^2\\\\H^2=l^2-(l/2)^2=10^2-5^2=100-25=75\\\\H^2=\sqrt{75}

Podemos entonces despejar x de la siguiente manera:

h=\dfrac{H}{l}\cdot x=\dfrac{lH}{2x}\\\\\\2x^2\dfrac{H}{l}=lH\\\\\\2x^2=l^2\\\\\\x=\dfrac{l}{\sqrt{2}}=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{2}}\approx7.07

11.25 - 10.5 = 0.75

Knowing that this is the profit she makes with one share, so:

20 * 0.75 = 15

Caroline made $15 profit.
