Suppose a farmer has 200 acres of land on which the family can plant any combination of corn and oats. each acre of corn that is planted requires 2 worker-days of labor and cost the farmer 10. suppose the farmer gets 30 in revenue for each acre of corn planted and 20 revenue for each acre of oats planted. if the farmer has 1,100 to spend on planting and 160-worker days of labor available for the year, how many acres of corn and how many acres of oats should the farmer plant to maximize his revenue

the answer is 5636.7

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
