Answer: The lamppost is 7 feet 2 inches
Step-by-step explanation: If Ann measured her own height and her shadow, then what she used is a ratio between both measurements. If she can measure the shadow of the lamppost, then she can use the same ratio of her height and it’s shadow to derive the correct measurement of the lamppost.
If Ann’s height was measured as 5 feet 3 inches, and her shadow was 8 feet 9 inches, the ratio between them can be expressed as 3:5.
Reduce both dimensions to the same unit, that is, inches. (Remember 12 inches = 1 foot)
Ratio = 63/105
Reduce to the least fraction
Ratio = 3/5
If the height of the lamppost is H, then
H/144 = 3/5
H = (144 x3)/5
H = 86.4
Therefore the lamppost is approximately 86 inches, that is 7 feet and 2 inches tall.

The total distance that the family has driven is the sum of the distances from Phoenix to San Francisco,
d = sqrt ((5 - -16)² + (-36 - -12)²) = 10.63
from San Francisco to Blythe,
d = sqrt ((-9 - 5)² + (-20 - -36)²) = 21.26
from Blythe to Los Angeles,
d = sqrt ((-4 - -9)² + (-33 - - 20)²) = 5.83
Adding the distances, we get 37.72.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
here i will give a step by step analysis of the question;
A: Optimization Formulation
given Xij = X no. of units of product i manufactured in Plant j, where i = 1,2,3 and J = 1,2,3,4,5
Objective function: Minimize manufacturing cost (Z)
Z = 31 X11 + 29 X12 + 32X13 + 28X14 + 29 X15 + 45 X21 + 41 X22 + 46X23 + 42X24 + 43 X25 + 38 X31 + 35 X32 + 40X33
s.t
X11 + X12 + X13 + X14 + X15 = 600
X21 + X22 + X23 + X24 + X25 = 1000
X31 + X32 + X33 = 800
X11 + X21 + X31 <= 400
X12 + X22 + X32 <= 600
X13 + X23 + X33 <= 400
X14 + X24 <= 600
X15 + X25 <= 1000
Xij >= 0 for all i,j
B:
Yes, we can formulate this problem as a transportation problem because in transportation problem we need to match the supply of source to demand of destination. Here we can assume that the supply of source is nothing but the manufacturing capability of plant and demand of destination is similar to the demand of products.
cheers i hope this helps!!
