We can bring the ratios to a similar form, because 2:5 is the same as 4:10 (we can mupltiply rations by the same number)

so one ratio is 4:10 and the other is 4:15 and the difference is is 75 beads

in this ratio, we can see each number corresponding to a "unit" of beads: that means that what changed is that Patricia now has 5 more such groups (15-10=5), and since she has 75 beads more each unit must be 75/5=15.

so afterwards (and before) Karen had 4 such units, that is 60, and Patricia before had 10 such units, that is 150.

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

V≈146.57ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

V=πr^2·h/3  since d is 14.4, we would divide it by 2 to find the radius which is 7.2

so V= π(7.2)^2· (2.7)/3

V≈146.57ft^3

It would be greatly appreciated if you gave me the brainlest

Given cos ⁡ ( θ ) = 5/6 , then sin ⁡ ( θ ) = a/b .<br><br> Determine the values of a and b.
slega [8]

Answer:

a = √11 and b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attached picture for reference

for an right triangle with angle θ

we are given

cos θ = 5/6 = length of adjacent side / length of hypotenuse

hence

adjacent length = 5 units

hypotenuse length = 6 units

the missing side is the "opposite" length which we can find with the Pythagorean equation. in our case:

hypotenuse ² = adjacent ² + opposite²   (rearrange)

opposite ² = hypotenuse ² - adjacent ²

opposite ² = 6² - 5²

opposite = √ (6²-5²) = √11

sin θ = opposite length / hypotenuse  (substitute values above)

sin θ = √11 / 6

hence a = √11 and b = 6
