Let's just choose "x" as our variable for the length of a side of the triangle.
Two sides of a triangle are equal in length and double the length of the shortest side.
A triangle has 3 sides. Make the smallest side x then the two equal sides that are double the smallest side are both equal to 2x
The perimeter of the triangle is 35 inches. Perimeter is the sum of all sides.
x + 2x + 2x = 35
5x = 35
x = 7
So the smallest side is 7, and the other two sides are 14.
Answer:
20 minutes should spend on walking and 30 minutes on running.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represents the minutes spent on walking and y represents the minutes spent on running,
∵ He burns 4 cal/min walking and 10 cal/min running,
So, the total calories burnt,
Z = 4x + 10y
Which has to be maximised.
Now, he walks between 10 and 20 min each day,
i.e. 10 < x < 20,
Also, he runs between 30 and 45 min each day,
i.e. 30 < y < 45,
By graphing 10 < x < 20 and 30 < y < 45,
We obtained the vertices of feasible region,
(10, 45), (20, 45), (10, 30) and (20, 30)
At (10, 45),
Z = 4(10) + 10(45) = 40 + 450 = 490,
At (20, 45),
Z = 4(20) + 10(45) = 80 + 450 = 530,
At (10, 30),
Z = 4(10) + 10(30) = 40 + 300 = 340,
At (20, 30)
Z = 4(20) + 10(30) = 80 + 300 = 380
Hence, maximum calories is 530 when 20 minutes spent on walking and 30 minutes spent on running.
