Find the rate of change, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), from the data given...
(2.16-1.26)/(12-7)=0.18
(1.26-0.72)/(7-4)=0.18
Since the rate is constant, this is a linear equation of the form y=mx+b. Furthermore, since 0 pencils cost 0, b=0, so the cost of the pencils is simply the number of pencils times 18 cents...
c(p)=0.18p (cost with respect to pencils is 0.18 times the number of pencils)
Adult ticket (a) = $5
Child ticket (c) = $2
785 tickets = $3280
a + c = 785 tickets
5a + 2c = $3280
c = 215 child tickets
a = 570 adult tickets
570 + 215 = 785 tickets
5(570) + 2(215) = $3280
There were 215 child tickets sold on Saturday

Answer:
16.51
Step-by-step explanation:
In a parallelogram, the opposite angles are always equal in measure. So two of the angles in the parallelogram measure 39 degrees each.
The sum of angles of the parallelogram must be 360 degrees. Let the other two angles be x degree each. We can set up the following equation for the angles:
39 + 39 + x + x = 360
78 + 2x = 360
2x = 282
x = 141
This means, the other two angles measure 141 degree each. The shorter diagonal will be opposite to the shorter angle.
Hence, the diagonal opposite to the angle 39 degree will be the shorter one. A diagonal divides the parallelogram in two triangles. So we will have two sides and an included angle and we have to find the third side of the triangle which can be found using the law of cosines. Let the third side be c as shown in image below, using the law of cosines, we can write:
Thus the shorter diagonal will be 16.51 feet in measure.
