Answer:</h2>
To solve this problem we will use Heron's formula:

Where
are the side lengths of the triangle and
is the semiperimeter (half the perimeter of the triangle). We know that:

Also:

Finally:

Rida:
5 1/2 :77
5.5 : 77
Divide both sides by 5.5 to get $/hour:
1:14
Elisa:
3 3/4:60
3.75:60
Divide both sides by 3.75 to get $/hour:
1:16
16 is bigger than 14 so Elisa earns more.
Hope this helps :)
