Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let 7 + 3√2 be an rational number where
7+3√2 = a/b [ a and b are coprime and b is not equal to zero]
3√2= a/b-7
3√2 =( a-7b) /b
√2 = (a-7b) /3b .....(i)
Now ,from equation (i) ,we get that √2 is rational but we know that √2 is irrational. so actually 7 + 3√2 is irrational not rational. thus our assumption is wrong. The number is irrational.
The illustration of the given mathematical elements is as in the attached images.
<h3>Illustration of mathematical elements</h3>
For line segments;
- The beginning and end of the line are specified by the assigned alphabets.
However, for rays;
- The ray is illustrated to originate from a point and span on from there till infinity.
For angles;
- The alphabet in the middle of the set of 3 alphabets used to identify the angle represents the center point of where the angle is located.

The altitude of the smaller triangle will be given as follows:
let the altitude of the smaller triangle be x
scale factor of small to large triangle is 3:5
but
scale factor=(length of small Δ)/(length of large Δ)
plugging in our values we get:
3/5=x/24
solving for x we get:
x=3/5×24
x=14.4 inches
Answer: 14.4 inches
