The line cutting the rectangle diagonally gives you two identical triangles and the dividing line is the hypotenuse.

So we apply the Pythagorean formula:
a^2+b^2 = c^2
36^2+78^2 = c^2
1296+6084 = 7380 take the square root: sqrt7380 = 85.9


Answer 85.9 feet = round to 86

The answer is actually choice A

---------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------

If we add up the equations straight down we will have 0a+2b = 6

Note how adding the 'a' terms gives us 3a + (-3a) = 3a-3a = 0a. The 0a term is really 0 since 0 times anything is 0. So the 'a' terms will go away

The equation 0a+2b = 6 turns into 0+2b = 6 and that simplifies to 2b = 6

To isolate b, we divide both sides by 2

2b = 6
2b/2 = 6/2
b = 3

We can stop here since only one answer choice has b = 3, which is choice A. However, let's keep going to find the value of 'a'

Plug b = 3 into any equation with 'a' and 'b', then solve for 'a'

3a+4b = 9
3a+4*3 = 9
3a+12 = 9
3a+12-12 = 9-12
3a = -3
3a/3 = -3/3
a = -1

So a = -1 and b = 3 pair up to form (a,b) = (-1,3)

--------------------------------------

To check, plug this ordered pair back into both equations

Equation 1:
3a+4b = 9
3*(-1)+4*3 = 9
-3+12 = 9
9 = 9
Equation 1 has been checked out

Equation 2:
-3a-2b = -3
-3(-1)-2(3) = -3
3 - 6 = -3
-3 = -3
this is true as well

So this confirms that the final answer is choice A

The Springer Dog Food Company makes dry dog food from two ingredients. The two ingredients (A and B) provide different amounts o
Nataly [62]

Answer:

a) Objective function (minimize cost):

C=0.50A+0.20B

Restrictions

Proteins per pound: 16A+8B\leq 12

Vitamins per pound: 4A+8B\leq 6

Non-negative values: A,B\geq0

b) Attached

c) The optimum solution (minimum cost) is 0 pounds of ingredient A and 0.75 pounds of ingredient B. The cost is $0.15 per ration.

d) The optimum solution changes. The cost is now 0 pounds of ingredient A and 0.625 pounds of ingredient B. The cost is $0.125 per ration.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The LP formulation for this problem is:

Objective function (minimize cost):

C=0.50A+0.20B

Restrictions

Proteins per pound: 16A+8B\leq 12

Vitamins per pound: 4A+8B\leq 6

Non-negative values: A,B\geq0

b) The feasible region is attached.

c) We have 3 corner points. In one of them lies the optimal solution.

Corner A=0 B=0.75

C=0.50*0+0.20*0.75=0.15

Corner A=0.5 B=0.5

C=0.50*0.5+0.20*0.5=0.35

Corner A=0.75 B=0

C=0.50*0.75+0.20*0=0.375

The optimum solution (minimum cost) is 0 pounds of ingredient A and 0.75 pounds of ingredient B. The cost is $0.15 per ration.

d) If the company requires only 5 units of vitamins per pound rather than 6, one of the restrictions change.

The feasible region changes two of its three corners:

Corner A=0 B=0.625

C=0.50*0+0.20*0.625=0.125

Corner A=0.583 B=0.333

C=0.50*0.583+0.20*0.333=0.358

Corner A=0.75 B=0

C=0.50*0.75+0.20*0=0.375

The optimum solution changes. The cost is now 0 pounds of ingredient A and 0.625 pounds of ingredient B. The cost is $0.125 per ration.
