There are two triangles that exist in this problem. First is the given triangle ABC, witch AB = BC = 6 and AC = 8
Next is the smaller triangle formed by connecting points D and E; triangle EAD, with EA = AD = 3 and the length of DE is unknown.
Because these triangles are similar, a simple ratio may be set up in order to calculate DE.
DE / AC = EA / AB
DE = 3/6 * 8
DE = 4 units

49x3= 147 so 10 reduction will make tim spend 137. 49x5= 245 so 20 reduction will make Craig spend 225. 225-147= 78 so Craig spends 78£ more than tim. All the offers state “X or Y” meaning it’s one or the other hence the ‘or’. Atleast that’s my interpretation of it.

Woodland Bicycles makes two models of off-road bicycles: the Explorer, which sells for $250, and the Grande Expedition, which se
elena-s [515]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be number of woodland bicyles and Y grande expedition

Our objective is to maximize profit

Z = 250x+350Y

Constraints are:  2x+3y<450 and

x+y<375

(given)

Solution gives negative y. Hence intersecting point is not within constraint.

So choices satisfying the constraints would be min of 225, 375 for x and min of 150,375 for x

i.e x=225 and y =150

To maximize revenue 225 Woodland and 150 Grande to be produced

Point B has coordinates ​(2​,1​). The​ x-coordinate of point A is negative 1. The distance between point A and point B is 5 unit
Gwar [14]

Answer:

A = (-1,5) or  (-1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (-1,y)    B = (2,1)

 

(Distance from A to B) = √[(-1-2)² + (y-1)²] = 5

                                    =√[9 + y² - 2y + 1] = 5

Squaring on both sides

                                     =  y² - 2y + 10 = 25

                                       =y² - 2y -15 = 0

                                      = (y-5)(y+3) = 0

                                         y = 5 or -3

Therefore, A = (-1,5) or  (-1,-3)
