Triangle ABC is equilateral, because AB=BC=AC=a. Then

m∠A=m∠B=m∠C=60°.

Let point D lie on the ray BC to the right from points B and C and let CD=x. Then BD=a+x, AB=a.

Consider triangle ACD. In this triangle, m∠ACD=180°-m∠ACB=180°-60°=120°.

By the cosine theorem,

AD^2=AC^2+CD^2-2\cdot AC\cdot CD\cdot \cos \angle ACD,\\\\AD^2=a^2+x^2-2\cdot a\cdot x\cdot \cos 120^{\circ},\\\\AD^2=a^2+x^2+ax,\\\\AD=\sqrt{a^2+x^2+ax}.

Since a^2+x^2+ax=a^2+x^2+ax+ax-ax=(a+x)^2-ax, then

AD^2=(a+x)^2-ax

and

AD^2=a^2+x^2+ax>a^2=AB^2\Rightarrow AD>AB.

Therefore, you get double inequality

AB or BD>AD>AB.

A machine requires three hours to make a unit of Product A and five hours to
svlad2 [7]

Let A unit be a; B unit be b

a + b = 95

b = 95 - a

3a + 5b = 395

3a + 5(95 -a) = 395

3a + 475 - 5a = 395

-2a = -80

a = 40

a + b = 95

40 + b = 95

b = 55

Therefore, a = 40; b = 55.

Hope this helps
