A furniture company is producing three types of furniture. Product A requires 7 board feet of wood and 4 lbs of wicker. Product B requires 5 board feet of wood and 5 lbs of wicker. Product C requires 4 board feet of wood and 3 lbs of wicker. There are 3000 board feet of wood available for product and 1400 lbs of wicker. Product A earns a profit margin of $35 a unit, Product B earns a profit margin of $42 a unit, and Product C earns a profit margin of $20 a unit. Formulate the problem as a linear program.

Step-by-step explanation:

this is a linear programming problem, and we are expected to draw up the linear program for the solution of the problem.

The objective function is

Maximize

35A+42B+20C=P    

subject to constraints(board and wicker)

The constraints are

  board

7A+5B+4C=3000

 wicker

4A+5B+3C=1400

A>0, B>0, C>0

x = central angle apc = measure of minor arc ac

the two angles x and 30 add to 180, so x+30 = 180 and x = 180-30 = 150. the measure of minor arc ac is 150 degrees.

what we need to do from here is find the circumference and then multiply it by x/360 since there are 360 degrees in a circle. in this case, x = 150, so x/360 = 150/360 = 15/36 = 5/12. the shortest distance along the curve from a to c is 5/12 of the distance around the entire circle (aka circumference)

c = circumference

c = pi*d

c = pi*24

c = 24pi

now multiply this by 5/12 to get

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(circumference)

distance along minor arc ac = (5/12)*(24pi)

distance along minor arc ac = 10pi

the formula you can use is

l = (x/360)*pi*d

with

l = length of minor arc

x = central angle

d = diameter

which essentially is the steps we took though a bit differently.
