Answer:

Technically, yes. It's called epsilon, which is defined as an infinitely small number. So

 2 + epsilon is the smallest number greater than 2. But for practical purposes no there isn't.

00

Step-by-step explanation:Not without limits. You can always move the .1 one place further from the interring. For example,  

2.1>2.01

and  

2.01>2.001

So, unless there are a limited number of decimal spaces, you can continually add an infinite amount of zeros behind the decimal point, followed by a one.

If you use two or three decimal spaces as a standard in your class, then the smallest decimal greater than 2 would be 2.01 or 2.001, respectively.

Scorpion4ik [409]
(5 Neighbors) x (($1.00 Box) + (? Plant) + ($3.00 Gloves)) = 42.50

5 x (1 + x + 3) = 42.50

Combine in parens.

5 x (4 + x) = 42.50

Distribute.

20 + 5x = 42.50

Subtract 20 from both sides.

5x = 22.50

Divide both sides by 5.

x = 4.50

Thats the cost of each plant.

Check.

5 x (1 + 4.50 + 3)

5 x 8.50 = 42.50

How do you find a angel when you know the sides?
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

Lets say its a right angle : we know that it is 90 degrees

Since  triangles are congruent to each triangle, each triangle has half as many degrees, namely 180. So this is true for any right triangle.
