John loves coffee. John will drive ten miles out of his way in the morning to get a cup of coffee at his favorite coffee shop so he can drink it on the way to work. For two years John has begged the owner of the coffee shop to open one in the shopping center near his home so he and others in his community can enjoy the delightful aroma, titillating taste, and velvety smoothness of their coffee creations. What utility is John seeking?

The correct answer is letter "B": Place.

Explanation:

Utility represents the satisfaction or joy an individual perceives by consuming a good or service. There are four (4) types of utility: form, time, place, and possession. Place utility represents the value products have to be found everywhere the go. Firms implement Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies to locate branches at places where consumers are likely to purchase their goods.

Thus, John is looking for place utility by requesting the owner of the coffee shop he usually goes to for opening a new branch near his house.

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
