Answer:

Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each ounce of the 14% copper contains 0.14 ounce of pure copper.

Each ounce of the 23% copper contains 0.23 ounce of pure copper.

Each ounce of the 18.1% copper contains 0.181 ounce of pure copper.

Use x ounces of the 14% and y ounces of the 23% to make 90 ounces of 18.1% alloy.

x+y  = 90

y = 90-x

0.14x + 0.23y = 0.181·90

0.14x + 0.23(90-x) = 16.29

0.14x + 20.7 - 0.23x = 16.29

-0.09x + 20.7 = 16.29

4.41 = 0.09x

x = 49

y = 90-x = 41

Use 49 ounces of the 14% allow and 41 ounces of the 23% alloy.

Answer:

\text{A) }68\:\mathrm{cm}

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a polygon is equal to the sum of all the sides of the polygon. Quadrilateral PTOS consists of sides TP, SP, TO, and SO.

Since TO and SO are both radii of the circle, they must be equal. Thus, since TO is given as 10 cm, SO will also be 10 cm.

To find TP and SP, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. Since they are tangents, they intersect the circle at a 90^{\circ}, creating right triangles \triangle TOP and \triangle SOP.

The Pythagorean Theorem states that the following is true for any right triangle:

a^2+b^2=c^2, where c is the hypotenuse, or the longest side, of the triangle

Thus, we have:

10^2+TP^2=26^2,\\TP^2=26^2-10^2,\\TP^2=\sqrt{576},\\TP=24

Since both TP and SP are tangents of the circle and extend to the same point P, they will be equal.

What we know:

  • TP=SP=24
  • TO=SO=10

Thus, the perimeter of the quadrilateral PTOS is equal to 24+24+10+10=\boxed{\text{A) }68\:\mathrm{cm}}
