<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
(a) A natural number that is greater than 25 and less than 40
Natural Number : These are numbers starting from 1 or also sometimes from zero and are all positive ! A natural greater than 25 & less than 40 is 30 .
(b) An integer which is less than -5 and a multiple of 2
Integer : An integer is a whole number not a fraction including 0 . It can be positive or negative ! Integer less than -5 and a multiple of 2 is -6.
(c) A rational number between 1 and 2
Rational Number : A number which can be expressed in form of p/q where q is not equal to 0 . A rational number between 1 & 2 is 3/2 .
(d) An irrational number between 8 and 9.
Irrational Number: A real number which is not rational or can't be written in form of p/q . An irrational number between 8 & 9 is .
Answer:
41°
Step-by-step explanation:
I could not think of an easy way to solve this, apart from having a graphing calculator do it. In the end, I found I could solve it analytically using a combination of the law of sines and the law of cosines.
Let x represent the length of the shortest side, and θ the smallest angle. Then the <em>law of sines</em> tells you ...
sin(θ)/x = sin(2θ)/(x+2)
Cross-multiplying and using the trig identity for sin(2θ), we have ...
(x +2)sin(θ) = 2x·sin(θ)cos(θ)
Dividing out sin(θ), we see that ...
cos(θ) = (x+2)/(2x)
___
The law of cosines for the shortest side and smallest angle tells you ...
x^2 = (x+1)^2 + (x+2)^2 - 2(x+1)(x+2)·cos(θ)
Substituting the above expression for cos(θ), this can be rewritten as ...
0 = (x^2 +2x +1) +(x^2 +4x +4) -x^2 -(x+1)(x+2)^2/x
0 = x^2 +6x +5 -(x+1)(x+2)^2/x . . . . . . collect terms outside the fraction
0 = x(x+5)(x+1) -(x+1)(x+2)^2 . . . . . . . . factor and multiply by x
We know that x=-1 is not a solution, so we can divide by that factor:
0 = x^2 +5x -(x^2 +4x +4) . . . . . multiply it all out
0 = x -4 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
4 = x
so, cos(θ) = (4+2)/(2·4) = 6/8 = 3/4
and the angle of interest is ...
θ = arccos(3/4) ≈ 41.40962° ≈ 41°
