Answer:

  • height: 9 chi 6 cun
  • width: 2 chi 8 cun

Step-by-step explanation:

The factor-of-ten relationship between the different units means we can combine the numbers in decimal fashion. If 1 unit is 1 zhang, then 1 chi is 0.1 zhang and 1 cun is 0.01 zhang. Hence 6 chi 8 cun is 0.68 zhang.

Let x and y represent the width and height, respectively. In terms of zhang, we have ...

  y - x = 0.68

  x^2 +y^2 = 1^2

Substituting y = 0.68 +x into the second equation gives ...

  x^2 + (x +0.68)^2 = 1

  2x^2 +1.36x - 0.5376 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses, subtract 1

Using the quadratic formula, we have ...

  x = (-1.36 ±√(1.36^2 -4(2)(-0.5376)))/(2·2) = (-1.36 ±√6.1504)/4

  x = 0.28 . . . . . the negative root is of no interest

  y = 0.28 +0.68 = 0.96

In units of chi and cun, the dimensions are ...

  height: 9 chi 6 cun

  width: 2 chi 8 cun

Answer:

f(u) = 9/5

Step-by-step explanation:

u - 5 = -4(u - 1)      Distribute on the right side

u - 5 = -4u + 4

+4u      +4u            Add 4u to both sides

5u - 5 = 4

    + 5   + 5            Add 5 to both sides

5u = 9                    Divide both sides by 5

u = 9/5
