The next step of your proof is to subtract (a/b) from both sides.
Then you get, x = (m/n) - (a/b)
Since rationals are closed over addition, (m/n) + (-a/b) is a rational number.
Therefore, x (an irrational number) = a rational number <em>This is a false statement which is a contradiction. So, the assumption was incorrect.</em>
Thus, the sum of a rational and irrational number is an irrational number. QED
Answer:
$287.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
15cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Theorem: All tangents to a circle from the same point are equal.
Sine E, F, G and H are points of Tangency, by the theorem above:
The diameter line EC divides the Isosceles Trapezoid into two equal parts.
Therefore:
We then have by the equality above that:
BC=BF+FC
=5+10
=15cm
I believe the correct answer is 36
