The smaller number is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Sum of two numbers = 100

The sum of 8 and the larger number is equal to 5 times the smaller number.

To find the smaller number.

Let,

Larger number is x and smaller number is y.

According to the problem,

x+y =100 ----- eq 1

8+x = 5y ------ eq 2

Now,

Putting the value x = 100 - y from eq 1 in eq 2 we get,

8+100-y = 5y

or, 6y = 108

or, y = 18

Hence,

The smaller number is 18.

The ancient Greeks could bisect an angle using only a compass and straightedge.A. TrueB. False
Gala2k [10]

Answer: True.

The ancient Greeks could bisect an angle using only a compass and straightedge.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ancient Greek mathematician <em>Euclid</em> who is known as inventor of geometry.

The Greeks could not do arithmetic. They had only whole numbers. They do not have zero and negative numbers.

Thus, Euclid and the another Greeks had the problem of finding the position of an angle bisector.

This lead to the constructions using compass and straightedge. Therefore, the straightedge has no markings. It is definitely not a graduated-rule.

As a substitute for using arithmetic, Euclid and the Greeks learnt to solve the problems graphically by drawing shapes .
