Let x be a variable.
Using the ratio and the given number of 117, we can create the following formula:
1x + 3x + 9x = 117, where 3x is the cups of onion
Simplify this equation.
13x = 117
Divide both sides by 13
x = 9
We want to solve for 3x, so multiply both sides by 3
3x = 27
As I started earlier, 3x is how many cups of onions is needed; thus, 27 is our answer. Hope this helps! :)

Since the area is that of a square, you know that all side lengths are the same.
Area is base times height (A = bh), but since base and height are the same for a square, you get the formula A = a².




The length of the side of a square with an area of 144 in² is
12 in.

This is a right triangle; use the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing lengths of right triangles. Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c², where c is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Plug in your leg lengths:
a² + b² = c²
8² + x² = 21²
64 + x² = 441
x² = 377
x = 19.4
