Answer: $628 </h3>
==========================================================
Work Shown:
x = Ali's share
4x = Pip's share, because it is four times bigger due to the ratio 4:1
x+4x = 5x = total amount of money = 785
5x = 785
x = 785/5
x = 157 dollars is Ali's share
4x = 4*157 = 628 dollars is Pip's share
Note that 157+628 = 785 to help confirm the answer.
It's the same as finding the hypothenuse of a right triangle. Let c be the hypothenuse.
30 squared+ 50 squared= c squared.
900+ 2500= c squared
3400= c squared
Then find the square root of 3400 and that will equal c.
So, depending in what form the teacher was the answer. The answer will be square root of 3400 ft squared or 58.3 ft squared.
