The yogurt shop wants to mix two toppings together to create a new topping that will sell for $6 per pound. the caramel crunch costs $4 per pound, and pecan turtles cost $9 dollars per pound. how many pounds of each item must be mixed together to obtain 15 pounds of the new topping?

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
