GOOD PROBLEM.TRY TO TO DRAW A FIGURE AS DESCRIBED BELOW FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING

LET THE CENTRE OF CIRCULAR PIZZA BE 'C'.THIS IS SAME AS THE CENTRE OF THE BOX.LET THE CARD BE PQRS..LET IT TOUCH THE CIRCULAR PIZZA AT P.JOIN OP
OP IS THE RADIUS=R SAY TO BE FOUND.WE HAVE..
PQ=RS=140....
PS=QR=70...GIVEN
DRAW CT FROM CENTRE C A RADIUS PERPENDICULAR TO RS.
EXTEND QP TO MEET CT AT X.
WE HAVE CT=RADIUS=R=CP
PSTX IS A RECTANGLE.
PS=70=XT
PX=QPX-QP=R-140
CX=CXT-XT=R-70.
NOW IN THE RIGHT ANGLED TRIANGLE CPX,WE HAVE
CP=R=HYPOTENUSE
CX=ONE SIDE=R-70
PX=ANOTHER SIDE=R-140
USING PYTHOGARUS THEOREM ,WE HAVE....HYPOTENUSE^2=SIDE^2+SIDE^2
R^2=(R-70)^2+(R-140)^2
R^2=R^2-140R+4900+R^2-280R+19600
R^2-420R+24500=0
R^2-70R-350R+24500=0
R(R-70)-350(R-70)=0
(R-70)(R-350)=0
R-70=0.....OR....R=70....NOT POSSIBLE AS THEN IT TOUCHES THE LOWER EDGE OVERLAPPING THE PIZZA.
R-350=0......R=350 IS THE ANSWER.
