According to the use of binomial expansion, the approximate value of √3 is found by applying the infinite sum √3 = 1 + (1 /2) · 2 - (1 / 8) · 2² + (1 / 16) · 2³ - (5 / 128) · 2⁴ + (7 / 256) · 2⁵ - (21 / 1024) · 2⁶ + (33 / 2048) · 2⁷ - (429 / 32768) · 2⁸ +...
An acceptable result cannot be found manually for it requires a <em>high</em> number of elements, with the help of a solver we find that the <em>approximate</em> value of √3 is 1.732.
<h3>How to approximate the value of a irrational number by binomial theorem</h3>Binomial theorem offers a formula to find the <em>analytical</em> form of the power of a binomial of the form (a + b)ⁿ:
(1)
Where:
- a, b - Constants of the binomial.
- n - Grade of the power binomial.
- k - Index of the k-th element of the power binomial.
If we know that a = 1, b = 2 and n = 1 / 2, then an approximate expression for the square root is:
√3 = 1 + (1 /2) · 2 - (1 / 8) · 2² + (1 / 16) · 2³ - (5 / 128) · 2⁴ + (7 / 256) · 2⁵ - (21 / 1024) · 2⁶ + (33 / 2048) · 2⁷ - (429 / 32768) · 2⁸ +...

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
For a triangle the area is
If our triangle is isosceles and the 2 congruent sides each measure 4 and they include an angle of 40 degrees, let's say that the vertex angle is 40 and the sides that are not the base each measure 4. If we drop an altitude from the vertex to the base, we cut the triangle into 2 right triangles, with the vertex angle being 20 degrees and the hypotenuse being 4. To find the base, then, which is opposite the angle, we use the sin ratio:
and
4sin(20) = b so
b = 1.368
But we need the whole base, and that is only half of it. So
2b = 2.736
To find the height, which is adjacent to the angle, we use the cos ratio:
and
4cos(20) = h so
h = 3.759
Now we have enough info to find the area of the triangle using the triangle area formula from above:
and
A = 5 meters squared.
