Answer:

gets smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quick Answer

To give you a short quick answer, the supplement is going to have to decrease or get smaller.

Example

Suppose the acute angle is 10 (anything under 90 will do).

Then the supplement is going to be 180 - 10 = 170

Now suppose the acute angle increase to 50 degrees.

That means the supplement will go from 180 - 50 = 130

Conclusion

As the acute angle gets bigger, the supplement gets smaller. This is an important idea to get clear. Bigger and Smaller or More or Less can be ugly little words, so anytime you come across them, pay attention. It will make your life in science so much easier.

Arithmetic average of real nonnegative numbers is always smaller than or equal to geometric average. Group of answer choices Tru

noname [10]

Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Actually, the arithmetic average (or mean) is always greater or equal than the geometric average. This is known as the Arithmetic-Geometric inequality (AM inequality). Let a,b be two real numbers, then the AM inequality states that

$\frac{a+b}{2}\geq \sqrt{ab}$

To see that the given statement is false, consider a=1, b=3. The arithmetic mean is equal to (1+3)/2=2, and the geometric mean is equal to $\sqrt{1\cdot 3}=\sqrt{3}$ but $2>\sqrt{3}$ , contrary to the statement (arithmetic>geometric in this case).
