Charlie the Chocolatier mixed chocolate chips and pretzels to create 36 pounds of his holiday blend that sells for $6.00 per pound. The chocolate chips cost $7.00 per pound and the pretzels cost $4.00 per pound. How many pounds of each did he use? Just need the equations

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
