Answer:

The number of candles will hold 2 candles

And large candle holder will hold 6 candles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of candles  small candle holder have x

And the number of candles large candle holder have y

So, according to the information given in the question:

17 small candle holders means 17 x

and 2 large candle holders means 2y

using a total of 46 candles means 17x+2y=46     (1)

Similarly, 8 small candle holders and 2 large candle holders, for a total of 28 candles gives:

8x+2y=28      (2)

We will solve equation (1) and (2) by elimination method:

Subtractijng the two equations we get:

9x=18

\Rightarrow x=2

Substitute x=2 in equation(2) we get:8(2)+2y=28

2y=12

\Rightarrow y=6

So, the number of candles will hold 2 candles

And large candle holder will hold 6 candles.

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Using the law of sines:

\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{c}{sin(C)}

Solve for b:

\begin{gathered} b=\frac{c\cdot sin(B)}{sin(C)} \\ so: \\ b=\frac{8\cdot sin(60)}{sin(64)} \\ b\approx7.708 \end{gathered}
