The law of cosines is a^2+b^2-2abcosC=c^2. Find the value of 2abcosC.

zzz [9066]

2ab x cos(C) = 7 since

a^2 + b^2 - 2ab x cos(C) = c^2
2ab x cos(C) = a^2 + b^2 - c^2
2ab x cos(C) = 2^2 + 2^2 - 1^2
2ab x cos(C) = 7

pat made a total of 48 pottery plates and cups if she made twice as many plates as cups how many plates did she make?

tester [8808]

48 divided by 3 equals 16 (cups)
Adding 16 and 16 gives 32 (which is double the number of cups)
Thus, the number of plates is 16.

1-i need to mix 25% mineral spirits to the varnish i am using what ratio of spirit to varnish am i using? 2-if i use 240 ml of v

Svet_ta [9486]

Answer:

(1) The necessary proportion of spirit to varnish stands at 1:3.

(2) A total of 80 ml of mineral spirit is required.

(3) The ratio of the heights to the widths of the tapestries is 3:2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) To achieve a mixture containing 25% mineral spirit, the blend consists of 25% spirit and 75% varnish.

Therefore, $\frac{spirit}{varnish}=\frac{25}{75}$

$=\frac{1}{3}$

Consequently, the proportion of spirit to varnish is 1:3.

(2) Using 240ml of varnish indicates this is 75% of the entire solution, which means the ratio of varnish to the total solution is 3:4.

Let the total solution quantity be $x$ .

Thus, $240:x=3:4$ .

⇒ $\frac{240}{x}=\frac{3}{4}$

⇒ $3x=240*4$

⇒ $x=\frac{240*4}{3}$

⇒ $x=320$

This means the total solution amounts to 320 ml.

Now, calculating Spirit = Total solution - Varnish

⇒Spirit = 320ml-240ml

⇒Spirit = 80ml

Therefore, when using 240 ml of varnish, you will require 80 ml of mineral spirit.

(3) The dimensions of Robison's tapestries are uniform at 1.5m in length and 1m in width. Initially, to obtain whole numbers, we multiply these dimensions by 10.

Thus, the dimensions become 15m long and 10m wide.

Now, the proportion of Height to Width is 15:10

⇒ $\frac{Height}{Width} =\frac{15}{10}$

⇒ $\frac{Height}{Width} =\frac{3}{2}$

Thus, the proportion of the heights of the tapestries to their widths is 3:2.

A photocopy machine can reduce copies to 80% of their original size. By copying an already reduced copy, further reductions can

PIT_PIT [9101]

Part a) When a page is scaled down to 80%, how much enlargement is necessary to bring it back to its original size?

Let

x---------> the percent enlargement

Given the original size is 100%

This means:

x*80%=100%

x=(100%/80%)

x=1.25--------> 1.25=(125/100)=125%

Thus,

The answer to Part a) is

The percent enlargement required is 125%

Part b) Estimate how many successive copies of a page are needed to make the final copy less than 15% of its original size.

Since the photocopy machine reduces sizes to 80% of the original

Therefore:

Copy N 1

0.80*100%=80%

Copy N 2

0.80*80%=64%

Copy N 3

0.80*64%=51.2%

Copy N 4

0.80*51.2%=40.96%

Copy N 5

0.80*40.96%=32.77%

Copy N 6

0.80*32.77%=26.21%

Copy N 7

0.80*26.21%=20.97%

Copy N 8

0.80*20.97%=16.78%

Copy N 9

0.80*16.78%=13.42%-------------> 13.42% < 15%

Therefore,

The answer to Part b) is

The necessary number of copies to achieve this is 9
