Problem Solving

Question 25.
A circular pizza with a radius of 7 inches is cut into four quadrants. The perimeter Q of each quadrant can be found using the formula Q = d(1 + $$\frac{\pi}{4}$$), where d is the diameter of the pizza. Find the perimeter of each quadrant of the pizza. Use $$\frac{22}{7}$$ as an approximation for π.

Given,
A circular pizza with a radius of 7 inches is cut into four quadrants.
The perimeter Q of each quadrant can be found using the formula Q = d(1 + $$\frac{\pi}{4}$$), where d is the diameter of the pizza.
pi = $$\frac{22}{7}$$
Q = d(1 + $$\frac{\pi}{4}$$)
Q = d(1 + $$\frac{\pi}{4}$$)
Q = d(1 + 0.785)
Q = 2(7)(1.785)
Q = 24.99 or 25 approx
Thus the perimeter of each quadrant of the pizza is 25 inches.

Question 26.
Some students painted a design on the wall of the cafeteria using the school colors. The middle section of the design is 4.2 feet tall and is painted white. The top section is red, and the bottom section is blue. The ratio of the height of the blue section to the height of the red section is 1: 2. The total height of the design is 10.5 feet. Find the height of the red section of the design.
Given,
The middle section of the design is 4.2 feet tall and is painted white.
The top section is red, and the bottom section is blue.
The ratio of the height of the blue section to the height of the red section is 1: 2.
The total height of the design is 10.5 feet.
x + 4.2 + 2x = 10.5
3x + 4.2 = 10.5
3x = 10.5 – 4.2
3x = 6.3
x = 2.1
2x = 4.2

a) Write a linear equation to find the cost of each pound of potatoes, p dollars.
Answer: 4 . $$\frac{5}{4}$$p + 5p = 10p

b) Tell whether the equation has one solution, is inconsistent, or is an identity. Explain your reasoning.
