Answer:

The cost per square inch of the pie is $0.111 or 11 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of a pie is circular.

The area of a circle (pie) = πr²

From the question ,

Diameter = 12 inches

Radius = Diameter/2

Radius = 12 inches/2

Radius = 6 inches.

Hence, the area of the pie = π × 6²

= 113.09733553 square inches

A pie costs $12.55

The cost per square inches of the pie is calculated as:

113.09733553 square inches = $12.55

1 square inch = $x

Cross Multiply

113.09733553x = $12.55

x = $12.55/113.09733553

x = $0.1109663631

Approximately

x = $0.111

Therefore, the cost per square inch of the pie is $0.111 or 11 cents

The height of a parallelogram is 5 feet more than it's base. If the area of the parallelogram is 204 square feet, what is its ba

siniylev [52]

The base is x.
The height is 5 feet more than the base, so it's x+5.
The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and its height. The area is 204 square feet.

$x(x+5)=204 \\
x^2+5x=204 \\
x^2+5x-204=0 \\
x^2+17x-12x-204=0 \\
x(x+17)-12(x+17)=0 \\
(x-12)(x+17)=0 \\
x-12=0 \ \lor \ x+17=0 \\
x=12 \ \lor \ x=-17$

The length of the base of a parallelogram must be a positive number, so x=12.

$\hbox{the base:} \\ x=12 \\ \\
\hbox{the height:} \\ x+5=12+5=17$

The base is 12 feet long, the height is 17 feet long.
