Hey there!!

Let's take the length of the bigger piece as x inches

Then, the length of the smaller piece would be x - 8 inches

The sum of these lengths would be 54 inches

... x + x - 8 = 54

... 2x - 8 = 54

... Add 8 on both sides

... 2x = 62

... Divide 2 on both sides

... x = 31

Hence, the length of the bigger piece = 31 inches

The length of the smaller piece would be = 31 - 8 = 23 inches

Hope my answer helps!!

Two column proof:
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

Given : BRDG is a kite that is inscribed in a circle,

With BR = RD and BG = DG

To prove : RG is a diameter

Proof:

Since, RG is the major diagonal of the kite BRDG,

By the property of kite,

∠ RBG = ∠ RDG

Also, BRDG is a cyclic quadrilateral,

Therefore, By the property of cyclic quadrilateral,

∠ RBG + ∠ RDG = 180°

⇒ ∠ RBG + ∠ RBG = 180°

⇒ 2∠ RBG = 180°

⇒ ∠ RBG = 90°

⇒ ∠ RDG = 90°

Since, Angle subtended by a diameter or semicircle on any point of circle is right angle.

⇒ RG is the diameter of the circle.

Hence, proved.
