Step-by-step explanation:

h = height of rectangle (should be "length", but ok)

w = width of rectangle

w = h + 97

the diagonal of the rectangle is the Hypotenuse (baseline) of a right-angled triangle with the legs being one height and one width side of the rectangle.

so, we use Pythagoras

c² = a² + b²

with c being the Hypotenuse (the side opposite of the 90° angle).

diagonal² = h² + (h + 97)² = h² + h² + 2×97h + 97²

113² = 12769 = 2h² + 194h + 9409

3360 = 2h² + 194h

1680 = h² + 97h = (h + 97/2)² - 9409/4

(completing the square)

6720/4 + 9409/4 = (h + 97/2)²

16129/4 = (h + 97/2)²

127/2 = h + 97/2

30/2 = h = 15

the height is 15.0 in

Mr. McBride ordered 6 cheese pizzas and 7 pepperoni pizzas and paid $153.50 for his son's birthday party. He realized he was goi
Marat540 [252]

Let x = cost of one cheese pizza.

Let y = cost of one pepperoni pizza.

Set up a system of equations.

6x + 7y = 153.50

2x + 2y = 47.00.

Multiply the second equation by -3

6x + 7y = 153.50

-6x - 6y = -141.00.

Add the equations together

y = $12.00.

Plug 12 into one of our original equations.

2x + 2(12) = 47.

Simplify the left side.

2x + 24 = 47.

Subtract 24 from each side.

2x = 23.

Divide each side by 2

x = $11.50

In conclusion, one pepperoni pizza costs $12.00
