Answer:
See the attached figure which represents the problem.
As shown, AA₁ and BB₁ are the altitudes in acute △ABC.
△AA₁C is a right triangle at A₁
So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = A₁C/AC ⇒(1)
△BB₁C is a right triangle at B₁
So, Cos x = adjacent/hypotenuse = B₁C/BC ⇒(2)
From (1) and (2)
∴ A₁C/AC = B₁C/BC
using scissors method
∴ A₁C · BC = B₁C · AC
Lets represent a tin of beans as and a jar of jam as
.
Therefore
3b+4j=2080 and 5b=2000.
Now we can say that b=400.
Substitute b in 3b+4j=2080 for 400.
3*400+4j=2080
Simplify
1200+4j=2080
4j=880
j=220.
Therefore
1 tin of beans is 400 grams and 1 jar of jam is 220 grams.
