Statement 1: WXYZ is a kite

Reason 1: Given

Statement 2: WX = XY and WZ = YZ

Reason 2: Definition of a kite

Statement 3: XZ = XZ

Reason 3: Reflexive property

Statement 4: Triangle WXZ = Triangle YXZ

Reason 4: SSS Congruence

Statement 5: Angle W = Angle Y

Reason 5: CPCTC

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Extra notes:

* A kite is a quadrilateral that has two pairs of adjacent congruent sides. In this case, WX and XY is one pair of congruent sides that are adjacent (ie next to each other). So that's why WX = XY. Similarly, WZ = YZ is the second pair of adjacent congruent sides.

* Draw in a segment from point X to point Z to help form two triangles. The two triangles are congruent as proven in statement 4. One triangle is a reflection over the line XZ to get the other triangle.

* Due to this reflection, angle W reflects over line XZ to get angle Y. Proving that angle W = angle Y

* SSS means "side side side", basically saying "you use three pairs of congruent sides to prove two triangles congruent".

* The acronym CPCTC stands for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent"

Express 5000 as the power of 10​
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

If you are to express 5000 in scientific notation form, it would be:

5 · 10^{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at it, there is only 1 sig fig (significant figure) and this means if you are to change it to number from between 1 - 10

it would be: 5

so it would look like 5.000 or just 5.

5,000. vs. 5.000 are both completely different things, that are expressed in different ways. But in this case, you can see that we have move the decimal place 3 times, which is why we have 10^{3}

That is how you get your answer!

“How did Faulkner pull it off?” is a question many a fledgling writer has asked themselves while struggling through a period of apprenticeship like that novelist John Barth describes in his 1999 talk "My Faulkner." Barth “reorchestrated” his literary heroes, he says, “in search of my writerly self... downloading my innumerable predecessors as only an insatiable green apprentice can.” Surely a great many writers can relate when Barth says, “it was Faulkner at his most involuted and incantatory who most enchanted me.” For many a writer, the Faulknerian sentence is an irresistible labyrinth. His syntax has a way of weaving itself into the unconscious, emerging as fair to middling imitation.

While studying at Johns Hopkins University, Barth found himself writing about his native Eastern Shore Maryland in a pastiche style of “middle Faulkner and late Joyce.” He may have won some praise from a visiting young William Styron, “but the finished opus didn’t fly—for one thing, because Faulkner intimately knew his Snopses and Compsons and Sartorises, as I did not know my made-up denizens of the Maryland marsh.” The advice to write only what you know may not be worth much as a universal commandment. But studying the way that Faulkner wrote when he turned to the subjects he knew best provides an object lesson on how powerful a literary resource intimacy can be

A store has a 20% sale on everything. An item originally cost 350 AED. What is the sale price? Show your work of how you calcula
slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A store has a 20% sale on everything.

So since you are saving 20%, you will only be paying 80% of the original price.

To find the sale price use the following formula:

Sale price = 80% x original price

They told us the original price = 350 AED

This means:

Sale price = 80% x 350

I think it would be easiest to change 80% into a fraction if you don't have a calculator :)

80% = \frac{80}{100}  = \frac{4}{5}

This means that the

Sale Price= \frac{4}{5} x 350 = 280 AED
