R = 2 / (1 + sin <span>θ)
Using the following relations:
R = sqrt (x^2 + y^2)
sin </span>θ = y/R
<span>
R = 2 / (1 + y/R)
R</span>(1 + y/R<span>) = 2
</span><span>R + y = 2
R = 2 - y
sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = 2 - y
Squaring both sides:
x^2 + y^2 = (2 - y)^2
x^2 + y^2 = 4 - 4y + y^2
x^2 + 4y - 4

Check the picture below.
since in a rhombus the diagonals bisect each other, thus EC = EA.
now, the rhombus is simply 4 congruent triangles, we know the base and height of one of them, thus

Answer: The price of meal before the tip = $34.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : The percentage of tip = 22% = 0.22 ( we divide a percentage by 100 to convert it into decimal)
Total amount paid ( including tip) = $41.48
Formula for Total bill = Price of meal + Tip amount , where Tip amount= 22% of Price of meal.
Let x be the price of meal, then
Total bill =x + 0.22 x (x )
⇒ $41.48= x(1+0.22) [ By distributive property]
⇒ $41.48 = x (1.22)
⇒ x= ($41.48) ÷ 1.22
⇒ x= 34
Hence, the price of your meal before you applied the tip = $34.
