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

7.5 * 4 = 30
Answer: price of soda (a) = $2 and price of popcorn (b) = $0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's denote soda = a and popcorn = b
Kaylin bought a soda and two popcorn, writing out an equation for this would be
a + 2b = $3...........equation (i)
And her brother bought 3 sodas and 1 popcorn.
3a + b = $6.50..........equation (ii)
From equation (i),
a + 2b = 3
Making a the subject of formula,
a = 3 - 2b......equation (iii)
Using substitution reaction, put equation (iii) into equation (ii)
3(3 - 2b) + b = $6.50
9 - 6b + b = 6.50
9 - 5b = 6.50
Collecting like terms,
5b = 9 - 6.50
Divide both sides by 5,
b = 5.
Put b = 5 into equation (i)
a + 2(0.5) = 3
a + 1 = 3
a = 2
Therefore, the price of soda is $2 per one and $0.5 for each popcorn.
