Answer: you will need 14.1 lbs of the cheaper candy 3 lbs of the expensive candy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of the cheaper candy that you will need.

Let y represent the number of pounds of the expensive candy that you will need.

You would like to have 17.1 lbs of the candy mixture. It means that

x + y = 17.1- - - - - - - - -1

The mixture would sell for $3.50/lb. It means that the total cos of the mixture would be

17.1 × 3.5 = $59.85

If the cheaper candy sells for $2.50/lb and the expensive candy sells for $8.20/lb, it means that

2.5x + 8.2y = 59.85- - - - - - - - - 1

Substituting x = 17.1 - y into equation 1, it becomes

2.5(17.1 - y) + 8.2y = 59.85

42.75 - 2.5y + 8.2y = 59.85

- 2.5y + 8.2y = 59.85 - 42.75

5.7y = 17.1

y = 17.1/5.7

y = 3

x = 17.1 - y = 17.1 - 3

x = 14.1

The following picture is a square pyramid where DE=8 cm and m∠ADE=60°.
Goryan [66]

<u>Given</u>:

The length of DE is 8 cm and the measure of ∠ADE is 60°.

We need to determine the surface area of the pyramid.

<u>Length of AD:</u>

The length of AD is given by

cos 60^{\circ}=\frac{FD}{8}

       4=FD

Length of AD = 8 cm

<u>Slant height:</u>

The slant height EF can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.

Thus, we have;

     sin \ 60^{\circ}=\frac{EF}{8}

sin \ 60^{\circ} \times 8=EF

      \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 8=EF

          4\sqrt{3}=EF

Thus, the slant height EF is 4√3

<u>Surface area of the square pyramid:</u>

The surface area of the square pyramid can be determined using the formula,

SA=Area \ of \ square + \frac{1}{2} (Perimeter \ of \ base ) (slant \ height)

Substituting the values, we have;

SA=8^2+\frac{1}{2}(8+8+8+8)(4 \sqrt{3})

SA=64+\frac{1}{2}(32)(4 \sqrt{3})

SA=64+(16)(4 \sqrt{3})

SA=64+64 \sqrt{3}

The exact form of the area of the square pyramid is 64+64 \sqrt{3}

Substituting √3 = 1.732 in the above expression, we have;

SA = 64 + 110.848

SA = 174.848

Rounding off to one decimal place, we get;

SA = 174.8

Thus, the area of the square pyramid is 174.8 cm²
