A kite is a four-sided polygon with two sets of equal side. If we let x be the length of the first two sides, we represent the length of the second set as 2x-5. Given the perimeter,
                                   P = 2L + 2W
                                   8 = 2(x) + 2(2x - 5)
The value of x is 3. Thus, the sides of the kite measure 3 cm, 3 cm, 1 cm, and 1 cm.

Answer:

1. z = 128

2. x = 4.2

3. c = 10

4. w = 100

5. a = 95.2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Solve for z:

z/16 = 8

Multiply both sides of z/16 = 8 by 16:

(16 z)/16 = 16×8

(16 z)/16 = 16/16×z = z:

z = 16×8

16×8 = 128:

Answer:  z = 128

_____________________________________________________

2. Solve for x:

3.5 x = 14.7

Divide both sides of 3.5 x = 14.7 by 3.5:

(3.5 x)/3.5 = 14.7/3.5

3.5/3.5 = 1:

x = 14.7/3.5

14.7/3.5 = 4.2:

Answer:  x = 4.2

____________________________________________

3. Solve for c:

32 = 3.2 c

32 = 3.2 c is equivalent to 3.2 c = 32:

3.2 c = 32

Divide both sides of 3.2 c = 32 by 3.2:

(3.2 c)/3.2 = 32/3.2

3.2/3.2 = 1:

c = 32/3.2

32/3.2 = 10:

Answer:  c = 10

__________________________________________________

4. Solve for w:

(2 w)/5 = 40

Multiply both sides of (2 w)/5 = 40 by 5/2:

(5×2 w)/(2×5) = 5/2×40

5/2×2/5 = (5×2)/(2×5):

(5×2)/(2×5) w = 5/2×40

5/2×40 = (5×40)/2:

(5×2 w)/(2×5) = (5×40)/2

(5×2 w)/(2×5) = (2×5)/(2×5)×w = w:

w = (5×40)/2

2 | 2 | 0

| 4 | 0

- | 4 |  

| | 0

| - | 0

| | 0:

w = 5×20

5×20 = 100:

Answer: w = 100

___________________________________________________

5. Solve for a:

a/14 = 6.8

Multiply both sides of a/14 = 6.8 by 14:

(14 a)/14 = 14×6.8

(14 a)/14 = 14/14×a = a:

a = 14×6.8

14×6.8 = 95.2:

Answer:  a = 95.2

Question number 8. Prove that 3 + √5 is an irrational number.​
Marina86 [1]

Answer :

Let's assume the opposite of the statement i.e., 3 + √5 is a rational number.

\\  \sf \: 3 +  \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{a}{b}   \\  \\   \qquad \: \tiny \sf{(where \:  \: a \:  \: and \:  \: b \:  \: are \:  \: integers \:  \: and \:  \: b \:  \neq \: 0)} \\

\\  \sf \:  \sqrt{5}  =  \frac{a}{b}  - 3 =  \frac{a - 3b}{b}  \\

Since, a, b and 3 are integers. So,

\\ \sf \:  \frac{p - 3b}{b}  \\  \\  \qquad \tiny \sf{ \: (is \:  \: a \:  \: rational \:  \: number \:) } \\

Here, it contradicts that √5 is an irrational number.

because of the wrong assumption that 3 + √5 is a rational number.

\\

Hence, 3 + √5 is an irrational number.

Please help me with this question PLEASE
uysha [10]
Assume Josh made X cupcakes; Alice made Y cupcakes; Tom made Z cupcakes.
Josh made 10 more cakes than Alice so, 
X = Y + 10 ---- 1st Eqn.

Alice made 8 more than Tom so, 
Y= Z+8 --- 2nd Eqn. 

Total cakes = 62 so, 
X+Y+Z = 62  ---- 3rd Eqn.

by solving three equations we get X= 30; Y= 20; Z=12.
So Tom made 12 cupcakes
