Answer:
The correct option is;
B. a. Whole number b. Irrational number
Step-by-step explanation:
The height, h of the equilateral triangle = 3·√2·s
The item by which equilateral triangle is made = 2-inch toothpicks
Therefore, we have;
The sides of the equilateral triangle = Comprises multiples of 2 inches
Therefore, the sides of the equilateral triangle is a whole number
The height of the triangle is the product of the side and (√3)/2
Therefore, the height of the triangle is an irrational number
The correct option is A. a. Whole number b. Irrational number.
A whole number are the positive counting numbers, 0, 1, 2, ..., while an integer includes negative numbers which is not possible for a real triangle.
