Answer: a slice of pizza cost $1.25 and a 12-ounce cola cost $0.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let slice of pizza cost x and a 12-ounce cola cost y.

Then Sara's order cost: 2x+y=3

and Sydney's order cost: 3x+2y=4.75

From the first equation we have: y=3-2x and put this to the second equation:

3x+2(3-2x)=4.75

3x+6-4x=4.75

x=1.25

y=3-1.25*2=0.50

Answer: a slice of pizza cost $1.25 and a 12-ounce cola cost $0.50.

★ Sanya has a piece of land which is in the shape of a rhombus.

★ She wants her one daughter and one son to work on the land and produce different crops, for which she divides the land in two equal parts.

★ Perimeter of land = 400 m.

★ One of the diagonal = 160 m.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{To \: Find :}}}}}}$

★ Area each of them [son and daughter] will get.

${\large{\textsf{\textbf{\underline{\underline{Solution :}}}}}}$

Let, ABCD be the rhombus shaped field and each side of the field be $x$

[ All sides of the rhombus are equal, therefore we will let the each side of the field be $x$ ]

Now,

• Perimeter = 400m

$\longrightarrow \tt AB+BC+CD+AD=400m$

$\longrightarrow \tt x + x + x + x=400$

$\longrightarrow \tt 4x=400$

$\longrightarrow \tt \: x = \dfrac{400}{4}$

$\longrightarrow \tt x= \red{100m}$

$\therefore$ Each side of the field = 100m.

Now, we have to find the area each [son and daughter] will get.

So, For $\triangle$ ABD,

Here,

• a = 100 [AB]

• b = 100 [AD]

• c = 160 [BD]

$\therefore \tt Simi \: perimeter \: [S] = \boxed{ \sf \dfrac{a + b + c}{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = \dfrac{100 + 100 + 160}{2}$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = \cancel{ \dfrac{360}{2}}$

$\longrightarrow \tt S = 180m$

Using herons formula,

$\star \tt Area \: of \: \triangle = \boxed{\bf{{ \sqrt{s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c) } }}} \star$

where

• s is the simi perimeter = 180m

• a, b and c are sides of the triangle which are 100m, 100m and 160m respectively.

Putting the values,

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180(180 - 100)(180 - 100)(180 - 160) }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180(80)(80)(20) }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{180 \times 80 \times 80 \times 20 }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{9 \times 20 \times 20 \times 80 \times 80}$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \tt \sqrt{ {3}^{2} \times {20}^{2} \times {80}^{2} }$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = 3 \times 20 \times 80$

$\longrightarrow \tt Area_{ ( \triangle \: ABD)} = \red{ 4800 \: {m}^{2} }$

Thus, area of $\triangle$ ABD = 4800 m²

As both the triangles have same sides

So,

Area of $\triangle$ BCD = 4800 m²

Therefore, area each of them [son and daughter] will get = 4800 m²
