Step-by-step explanation:

this is a linear programming problem.

the objective is to maximize profit

let the chocolate be x

and cookies be y

Maximize

2.5x+2y=P

constraint milk

3x+y=9------------------1

constraint flour

2x+4y=16----------------2

solving 1 and 2

3x+y=9

2x+4y=16

multiply 1 by 2 and 2  3 to eliminate x we have

  6x+2y=18

 6x+12y=48

-0-10x=-30

10y=30

y=30/10

y=3

put y= 3 in eqn 1 we have

3x+3=9

3x=9-3

3x=6

x=6/3

x=2

two trays of chocolate

three trays of cookies

2.5x+2y=P

2.5(2)+2(3)=P

5+6=P

P=$11

Triangle ABC has vertices at A(-4, -2), B(1, 7) and C(8, -2)
Arada [10]

Answer:

a). Area = 54 square units

b). Perimeter = 33.7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Vertices of the triangle ABC are A(-4, -2), B(1, 7) and C(8, -2).

(a). Area of the triangle ABC = \frac{1}{2}[x_{1}(y_{2}-y_{3})+x_{2}(y_{3}-y_{1})+x_{3}(y_{1}-y_{2})] (Absolute value)

By substituting the values from the given vertices,

Area = \frac{1}{2}[(-4)(7+2)+(1)(-2+2)+8(-2-7)]

        = \frac{1}{2}[-36+0-72]

        = \frac{1}{2}(-108)

        = (-54) unit²

Therefore, absolute value of the area = 54 square units

(b). Distance between two vertices (a, b) and (c, d)

        d = \sqrt{(a-c)^{2}+(b-d)^2}

     AB = \sqrt{(-4-1)^{2}+(-2-7)^{2}}

           = \sqrt{106}

           = 10.295 units

     BC = \sqrt{(1-8)^2+(7+2)^2}

           = \sqrt{130}

           = 11.402 units

     AC = \sqrt{(-4-8)^2+(-2+2)^2}

           = 12 units

     Perimeter of the triangle = AB + BC + AC = 10.295 + 11.402 + 12

                                                                          = 33.697

                                                                          ≈ 33.7 units

Find the measure of X plz
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

X = 44°

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle other than 68°and and x is also 68° because its a isosceles triangle.

so 68° + 68° + x = 180° (angle sum property)

136° + x = 180°

x = 180 - 136

= 44°

hope this helps.
