Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Minimize the objective function P = 5x + 8y for the given constraints.

x\geq 0,y\geq 0

2x+3y\geq 15

3x+2y\geq 15

The related equations of above inequalities are

2x+3y=15

3x+2y=15

For 2x+3y=15,

x     y

0     5

7.5   0  

Plot (0,5) and (7.5,0) and join them by straight line.

For 3x+2y=15,

x     y

0     7.5

5      0  

Plot (0,7.5) and (5,0) and join them by straight line.

Check the inequalities for (0,0).

2(0)+3(0)\geq 15\Rightarrow 0\geq 15 False

3(0)+2(0)\geq 15\Rightarrow 0\geq 15 False

It means both lines are solid lines and shaded region for each lies opposite side of (0,0).

From the below graph it is clear that the vertices of feasible region are (0,7.5), (3,3), (7.5,0).

Point       P = 5x + 8y

(0,7.5)     P=5(0)+8(7.5)=60

(3,3)     P=5(3)+8(3)=15+24=39

(7.5,0)     P=5(7.5)+8(0)=37.5 (Minimum)

So, minimum value is 37.5.

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

52 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a square is l x w. all sides are equal so the l = w

A = 169 ft^2 so each side is the square root of 169 which is 13 ft

perimeter of the floor would be all four sides added or length of 1 side multiplied by 4 since they are all equal

Perimeter = 13ft × 4 = 52 ft

so:
