Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given,
Cameron buys 2.45 pounds of apple and 1.65 pounds of pears.
Also, the cost of apples and pears is 'c' dollars per pound.
Thus, the cost of 2.45 pounds of apple is dollars and the cost of 1.65 pounds of pear is
dollars.
Since, the total cost after using a coupon is $4.12.
So, we get the equation representing the situation is,
Total cost = Total cost of apples + Total cost of pears.
i.e.
i.e.
i.e.
i.e. c = 1 dollar
Hence, the required equation to find c is .

It has been proven that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.
<h3>How to prove a Line Segment?</h3>We know that in a triangle if one angle is 90 degrees, then the other angles have to be acute.
Let us take a line l and from point P as shown in the attached file, that is, not on line l, draw two line segments PN and PM. Let PN be perpendicular to line l and PM is drawn at some other angle.
In ΔPNM, ∠N = 90°
∠P + ∠N + ∠M = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)
∠P + ∠M = 90°
Clearly, ∠M is an acute angle.
Thus; ∠M < ∠N
PN < PM (The side opposite to the smaller angle is smaller)
Similarly, by drawing different line segments from P to l, it can be proved that PN is smaller in comparison to all of them. Therefore, it can be observed that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.
