Lucia would need 54 green beads and 36 purple beads.

  • Total length of her beaded string = 21.6 centimeters
  • Decided length for green beads = 0.4 centimeters
  • Decided length for purple beads = 0.6 centimeters
<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

To determine the amount of green and purple beads she would use for the whole beaded string, the total length of her beaded string (21.6) would be divided by the amount of colored beads (For green: 0.4; For purple: 0.6) she decided to use for the beaded string separately.

Therefore, 21.6 ÷ 0.4; and 21.6 ÷ 0.6

Hence,  

<h3><u>For green beads:</u></h3>

Total length of her beaded string ÷ Decided length for green beads

= 21.6 ÷ 0.4 ( can be expressed as \frac{216}{4})

= \frac{216}{4}

= 54

<h3><u>For purple beads:</u></h3>

Total length of her beaded string ÷ Decided length for purple beads

= 21.6 ÷ 0.6 (can be expressed as \frac{216}{6})

= \frac{216}{6}

= 36

Therefore she would need 54 green beads and 36 purple beads for her beaded string.  

The above expression is a number problem, and was solved with the aid of division. Division is a basic arithmetic operation which deals with splitting or dividing two or more numerical values into different equal part.

It is also a function of BODMAS (which is an order of operations). BODMAS basically means Bracket, Orders, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtraction.

21.6 ÷ 0.4 = 54 times for green
21.6 ÷ 0.6 = 36 times for purple

Together, 90 beads. Separately, 54 green and 36 purple.

If x varies jointly as y and z, and x = 8 when y = 4 and z = 9, find z when x = 16 and y = 6. 3
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Joint variation says that:

if x \propto y and x \propto z

then the equation is in the form of:

x = kyz, where, k is the constant of variation.

As per the statement:

If x varies jointly as y and z

then by definition we have;

x=k(yz)           ......[1]

Solve for k;  

when x = 8 , y=4 and z=9

then

Substitute these in [1] we have;

8=k(4 \cdot 9)

⇒8 = 36k

Divide both sides by 36 we have;

\frac{8}{3}=k

Simplify:

k = \frac{2}{9}

⇒x = \frac{2}{9}yz

to find z when x = 16 and y = 6

Substitute these value we have;

16 = \frac{2}{9} \cdot 6 \cdot z

⇒16 = \frac{12}{9}z

Multiply both sides by 9 we have;

144 = 12z

Divide both sides by 12 we have;

12 = z

or

z = 12

Therefore, the value of z is, 12

David proved the Law of Cosines with reference to ∆ABC using a different method. Arrange the steps of his proof in the correct s
AURORKA [14]

Answer: We can arrange the steps with help of below explanation.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Here ABC is a triangle,

Draw a perpendicular from BD to side AC ( construction)

where D\in AC

In the right triangle BCD, from the definition of cosine:

cos C =CD/ BC

CD= a cos C

Subtracting this from the side b, we see that

DA= b-acos C  

In the triangle BCD, from the definition of sine:

sin C =BD  / a

BD = a sin C  

In the triangle ADB, applying the Pythagorean Theorem

c^2  =BD^2 +DA^2  

Substituting for BD and DA from (2) and (3)

c^2 =(asinC)^2 +(b-acosC)^2  

⇒c^2 =a^2sin ^2C+b^2-2ab cosC+a^2 cos ^2C   ( On simplification)

⇒c^2 =a^2sin ^2C+a^2 cos ^2C+b^2-2abcos C

⇒c^2=a^2(sin^2C+cos^2C) +b^2-2abcosC

⇒c^2 = a^2+b^2-2abcosC (because,sin^2\theta+cos^2\theta =1 )
