I think the answer is 66. But I'm not sure just try and see...!
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
Since the given figure is a trapezoid, here is how we are going to find for the value of x. Firstly, the sum of the bases of the trapezoid is always equal to twice of the median. So it would look like this. 2M = A + B.
Plug in the given values above.
2M = (<span>3x+1) + (7x+1)
2(10) = 10x + 2
20 = 10x + 2
20 - 2 = 10x
18 = 10x < divide both sides by 10 and we get,
1.8 = x
Therefore, the value of x in the given trapezoid is 1.8. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
