Heya!
You have used 5 3/4 paint in all.
.
3 1/2 + 2 1/4
= 5 (2+1)/4
= 5 3/4

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to find the total amount of paint used by adding the two fractions.

First, we need to find the common denominators below adding.

1/2 = 2/4
1/4 = 1/4

The common denominator is 4.

Now, we add the mixed numbers together:

3 2/4 + 2 1/4 = 5 3/4

Since 5 3/4 can't be simplified, the answer is:

5 3/4 liters of paint

Hope this helps!

Answer:

$4 \cot {}^{2} (45) - 3 \tan {}^{2} (60) + 2 \sec {}^{2} (60) = 3 \\$

$LHS = 4 \cot {}^{2} (45) - 3 \tan {}^{2} (60) + 2 \sec {}^{2} (60) \\$

let us first take a look at the values of the trigonometric ratios given in the question so that we get quite clear about what is to be done.

here ,

$\cot(45) = 1 \\ \\ \tan(60) = \sqrt{3} \\ \\ \sec(60) = 2$

now ,

we just have to plug in the values considering certain other things given in the question and we're done!

so let's start ~

$4(1) {}^{2} - 3( \sqrt{3} ) {}^{2} + 2(2) {}^{2} \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: 4(1) - 3(3) + 2(4) \\ \\ \dashrightarrow \: 4 - 9 + 8 \\\\ \dashrightarrow \: 12 - 9 \\ \\\dashrightarrow \: 3 = RHS$
