Answer:

Rational

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a and b are rational, a - b has to be rational because we are not dividing them. 2 rational numbers subtracted from each other is always a rational number.

Example: 34 (rational) 23 (rational)

34 - 23 = 11 (rational)

A triangle has a 60° angle, and the two adjacent sides are 12 and "12 times the square root of 3". Find the radius of a circle w

shusha [124]

The radius of a circle with the same vertex as a center is 12 units

<h3>Application of Pythagoras theorem;</h3>

To get the radius of the circle, we need to determine the diameter of the circle first:

According to SOH CAH TOA:

$sin\theta = \frac{opp}{hyp} \\sin60 = \frac{12\sqrt{3}}{hyp} \\hyp =\frac{12\sqrt{3}}{sin60} \\hyp =\frac{2\times12\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt3}} \\hyp = 24 = diameter$

Determine the radius of the circle

Radius = dismeter/2

Radius = 24/2

Radius = 12

Hence the radius of a circle with the same vertex as a center is 12 units
