An old adage states that "You can't fit a square peg in a round hole." Actually, you can, it just won't fill the hole. If a hole

is 4 inches in diameter, what is the approximate width of the largest square peg that fits in the round hole?

Suppose the peg is like a rectangular prism:

It will be a right triangle with two sides of 2 and 2 because the diameter is 4.
c=√(2²+2²)
c=2√2
so the width of the largest peg is 2√2 or 2.83 inch

Solve for x and y x+1/2 - y+4/11=2 ; x+3/2 + 2y+3/17=5
puteri [66]

The value of x and y is 5 , 7

<h3>What is an Equation ?</h3>

An expression consists of variables , constants and mathematical operators , when equated by any other algebraic expression or a constant it becomes an equation.

The equation given in the question is

(x + 1)/2  -(y+4)/11 = 2

(x+3) /2 + (2y+3)/17 = 5

It has to be solved for x and y ,

The simplification of the equation has to be done

and the equation is

11x-2y = 41  -----------1

and

17x +4y = 113    -------------------2

to find the solution elimination method will be followed as

Multiplying equation 1 by 2 and adding the both equations

39x = 195

x = 5

Substituting this value in equation 1

55 -2y = 41

y = 7

The value of x and y is 5 , 7
