Answer:
x = 3.76 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the missing side, "x", solve using proportions.
In similar polygons, the 'new' polygon was created by multiplying every side of the 'old' polygon by the same number. Every side was multiply by the <u>scale factor</u>, "k", which tells you how much a polygon grew (k>1) or shrunk (0<k<1).
Therefore, if you divided the pairs of corresponding sides, they would be equal.
From the diagram, you can tell that the following sides correspond:
CB ~ GF
AB ~ EF
<u>Use the proportion</u>
Substitute values from diagram
Multiply both sides by 6 ft
"x" is isolated. Multiply fraction by combining into numerator
Solved numerator. Divide for decimal answer.
The value of 'x' is 3.76 ft.
the overhead, fixed costs, is $1000.
the variable cost is $200, so if she sells "x" tiles, then her costs is 200*x or 200x.
total costs then will just be C(x) = 200x + 1000.
namely both costs added together.
Revenue is just how much it's been taken in from the sales, since each tile is selling for $240, then the revenue is simply 240*x or just R(x) = 240x.
break even point is when those two guys equal each other
what if the cost for each tile were $220, 20 bucks more?
well, if the cost for each tile is $200, her break-even point is at 25 units, namely once she has sold 25 tiles, she's has lost nothing, has won nothing either, but hasn't lost anything.
if the cost is however $220 instead, her break-even point comes much later, at 50 units, so she'll have to sell more tiles in order to not have any losses, so she's worse off if the cost is more or course.
