Using the profit concept, it is found that she makes a profit of $4 selling a dozen cookies for six dollars.
<h3>What is a profit?</h3>
The profit is given by the <u>subtraction of the revenue by the total costs</u>.
In this problem:
- For the dozen cookies, she earned a revenue of 6 dollars.
- In all, the total cost of the 12 cookies was of 0.5 + 0.7 + 0.4 + 0.4 = 2 dollars.
6 - 2 = 4, hence she makes a profit of $4.

X = length of shortest side
Therefore the remaining sides will be x +2 and x + 7
x + x + 2 + x +7 = 45
3x + 9 = 45
3x = 36
x = 12
x + 2 = 14
x + 7 = 19
The sides are 12, 14, and 19 cm. long. Hope this helped!
