Answer:
The minimum width of the placemat is 10 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let suppose that placemat has a square form, whose width must be at least equal to the diameter of the pizza, so that pizza does not touch the table. Hence, the following relationship is obtained:
Where:
- Width of the placemat, measured in inches.
- Diameter of pizza, measured in inches.
The area of the pizza, measured in square inches, is determined by this formula:
The diameter is cleared afterwards:
If and
, then:
The minimum width of the placemat is 10 inches.
We have such system of eq
First lets solve second eq
7x=21 /:7 divide both sides by 7
x=3
Now we can substitute it to first equation
9x-2y=19
9*3-2y=19
27-2y=19 /-27 subtract 27 both sides
-2y=-8 /:(-2) divide both sides by -2
y=4 - its the answer
