Answer: 6units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a regular polygon, and it has 3 equal sides it means the polygon is a quadrilateral.

From the diagram,

5 - 2x = -4x + 9 ( side of quadrilateral )

Solving for x in the equation

-2x + 4x = 9 - 5 ( collection of like terms in simple linear equation )

2x = 4

Divide through by the coefficient of x which is 2

x = 2.

Therefore, the perimeter of the polygon which equals to the total length of the polygon is

Perimeter = 2 + 2 + 2

= 6units

3. Formulate 900 lbs of a 35% CP ration using Soybean Meal (46% CP) and Oats (12% CP). How many pounds of soybean meal will be u

Anarel [89]

Answer:

The amount of Soyabean = 608.82 pounds.

The amount of Oats = 900-608.82 = 291.18 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the Soybean Meal has 46% CP and Oats has 12% CP.

The total amount of ration is 900 lbs of 35% CP.

Let x pounds of Soyabean has been used, so,

the amount of Oats = 900-x lbs.

The CP amount in 900 lbs mixture will be equal to the sum of CP amounts in x lbs Soyabean and 900-x lbs Oats, i.e

35% of 900 = 46% of x + 12% of (900-x)

$\Rightarrow \frac{35}{100}\times 900=\frac{46}{100}\times x+\frac{12}{100}\times (900-x)$

$\Rightarrow 35\times 900 = 46x + 12\times 900 - 12 x$

$\Rightarrow 34x= 900(35-12)$

$\Rightarrow x = (900\times 23)/34$

$\Rightarrow x = 608.82$ lbs.

So, the amount of Soyabean = 608.82 pounds.

The amount of Oats = 900-608.82 = 291.18 pounds.
