Let G be some point on the diagonal line away from point E.

Angle DEG represents angle 1.

We're given that angle DEF is a right angle which means it's 90 degrees. Angle DEG is some angle smaller than 90 degrees. By definition, that must mean angle 1 is acute. Any acute angle is smaller than 90 degrees. There's not much else to say other than this is just a definition problem.

----------------

Extra side notes:

If angle 1 was a right angle, then that would mean angle GEF would have to be 0 degrees; however the diagram shows this isn't the case.

If angle 1 was obtuse, then there's no way we'd be able to fit it into angle DEF. In other words, there's no way to have an angle larger than 90 fit in a 90 degree angle.

If r and s are positive integers, is \small \frac{r}{s} an integer? (1) Every factor of s is also a factor of r. (2) Every prime

Yuri [45]

Answer:

If statement(1) holds true, it is correct that $\small \frac{r}{s}$ is an integer.

If statement(2) holds true, it is not necessarily correct that $\small \frac{r}{s}$ is an integer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two positive integers $r$ and $s$ .

To check whether $\small \frac{r}{s}$ is an integer:

Condition (1):

Every factor of $s$ is also a factor of $r$ .

$r \geq s$

Let us consider an example:

$s = 5^2 \cdot 2\\r = 5^3 \cdot 2^2$

$\dfrac{r}{s} = \dfrac{5^3\cdot2^2}{5^2\cdot2} = 10$

which is an integer.

Actually, in this situation $s$ is a factor of $r$ .

Condition 2:

Every prime factor of s is also a prime factor of r.

(But the powers of prime factors need not be equal as we are not given the conditions related to powers of prime factors.)

Let

$r = 2^2\cdot 5\\s =2^4\cdot 5$

$\dfrac{r}{s} = \dfrac{2^3\cdot5}{2^4\cdot5} = \dfrac{1}{2}$

which is not an integer.

So, the answer is:

If statement(1) holds true, it is correct that $\small \frac{r}{s}$ is an integer.

If statement(2) holds true, it is not necessarily correct that $\small \frac{r}{s}$ is an integer.
