If ΔACB is an isosceles triangle, then ∠A ≅ ∠B and AC ≅ CB

Since ∠C = 120° and ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°, then ∠A = 30° and ∠B = 30°

Next, look at ΔADB.  ∠A + ∠D + ∠B = 180°, so ∠A + 90° + 30° = 180° ⇒ ∠A = 30°

Now look at ΔADC.  Since ∠A = 30° in ΔACB, and ∠A = 60° in ΔADB, then ∠A = 30° in ΔADC <em>per angle addition postulate.</em>

Now that we have shown that ΔADB and ΔADC are 30-60-90 triangles, we can use that formula to calculate the side lengths.

CD = 4 cm (given) so AC = 2(4 cm) = 8 cm

Since AC ≅ BC, then BC = 8 cm. Therefore, BD = 4 + 8 = 12 <em>by segment addition postulate.</em>

Lastly, look at ΔBHD.  Since ∠B = 30° and ∠H = 90°, then ∠D = 60°. So, ΔBHD is also a 30-60-90 triangle.

BD = 12 cm, so HD = \frac{12}{2}cm = 6 cm

Answer: 6 cm

Answer:

DH = 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

DC is 4 cm

Triangle DAC is a 30-60-90 Triangle

AC = 8

DA = 4 Root 3

DAH is a 30-60-90 Triangle

AH = 2 Root 3

DH = 2 Root 3 * Root 3 = 2*3= 6 cm

The A&amp;M Hobby Shop carries a line of radio-controlled model racing cars. Demand for the cars is assumed to be constant at a
Bond [772]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Demand per month= 40 cars

Annual Demand (D)= 12*40 = 480

Fixed Cost per order (K)= 15

Holding Cost= 20% of cost= 60 *0.2 = 12

a. Economic Order Quantity=

Q^{*}={\sqrt {{\frac {2DK}{h}}}}

= √(2*480*15)/12

=34.64 ~ 35

Total Cost =P*D+K(D/EOQ)+h(EOQ/2) P= Cost per unit

= 60*480+ 15(480/35) + 12(35/2)

= 28800+ 205.71+ 210

=$29215.71

B). Backorder Cost (b)= $45

Qbo= Q* × √( b+h/ h)

= 35*√(12+45/ 45)

= 35* 1.12

=39.28 ~ 39

Shortage (S)= Qbo * (K/K+b)

= 39* (15/15+45)

= 39* 0.25

= 9.75

Total Cost Minimum=( bS2/ 2Qbo) + P (Qbo- S)2/2Qbo + K(D/Qbo)

=45* 9.752 / 2* 392 + 60 (39-9.75)2/ 2* 392 + 15 ( 480/39)

= 1.40+ 21.9.+ 184.61

=$207.91

C)Length of backorder days (d) = Demand ÷ amount of working days

d = 480 ÷ 300

d = 1.6

Calculate the backorders as the maximum number of backorders divided by the demand per day

s/d = 9.75/1.6 = 6.09 days (answer)

D) Calculate the difference in total between not using backorder:

$207.85 + $207.85 - 207.91 = $207.79

The saving in using backorder is $207.79.

Therefore I would recommend using a backorder
