Answer:

The length of the longest side is 13mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the two sides with a and b, where a is the longest

Perimeter = 50

a=b + 1

Required

Determine the length of the longest side

Perimeter of a kite is calculated as thus:

Perimeter = 2(a + b)

Make b the subject in a=b + 1

b = a -1

Substitute a - 1 for b and 50 for Perimeter in Perimeter = 2(a + b)

50 = 2(a + a - 1)

Divide through by 2

25 = a + a - 1

25 = 2a- 1

Add 1 to both sides

25 + 1 = 2a - 1 +1

25 + 1 = 2a

26 = 2a

Solve for a

a = 26/2

a = 13

<em>Hence, the length of the longest side is 13mm</em>

Given:
number of pints used for larger chest = 16 pints
number of pints used for smaller chest = 9 pints

Ratio of the volume of the larger chest compared to the smaller chest.

We will use the number of pints used in lieu of the volume of each chest.

2nd attempt carries a price of 6% extra, so (6/100) * 548 is 32.88, so 548 + 32.88, the price is 580.88.

for the 3rd attempt 6% extra of that, (6/100) * 580.88, is 34.8528, so the price is 615.7328.

4th attempt is 6% extra of that, (6/100) * 615.7328, 36.943968, adding that will give us 652.676768.
