Answer:

The answer to your question is 12.55 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Adam                                  Cara

height = 159 cm                  height = 140 cm

shadow = 105 cm                shadow = x

Process

1.- To solve this problem use the Thales' theorem

         Cara's shadow / Cara's height = Adam's shadow / Adam's height

- Substitution

                                     x / 140 = 105 / 159

-Solve for x

                                     x = 105 (140) / 159

-Simplification

                                     x = 14700 / 159

                                     x = 92.45 cm

Cara's shadow is 92.45 cm long.

2.- If both shadows are in line, then Cara must walk forward

                105 - 92.45 cm

                12.55 cm

The system of inequalities is:

y ≤ -0.05*x^2 + 6x

y >  1.5x + 45

(30, 90) is not a solution of that system, while (60, 160) is a solution.

<h3>How to get the system of inequalities?</h3>

We know that the revenue y is given by:

y ≤ -0.05x^2 + 6x

And we know that the costs are 1.5x + 45, and the revenue must be larger than that, so we also have the inequality:

y >  1.5x + 45

So the system is:

y ≤ -0.05*x^2 + 6x

y >  1.5x + 45

Now, the point (30, 90) means that we need to replace x by 30 and y by 90, replacing that in the second inequality, we will get:

90 > 1.5*30 + 45 = 90

90 > 90

This is false, so the point is not a solution of this inequality, meaning that the point is not a solution of the system.

For the second point we do the same: x= 60, y = 160, replacing that in the second inequality we get:

160 > 1.5*60 + 45 = 135

160 > 135

This is true, now we need to check with the other inequality.

160 ≤  -0.05*60^2 + 6*60 = 180

This is also true.

So the point (60, 160) is a solution to the system.
