Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
4 Divide by 2 and add 1
Computation;
[4 / 2] + 1
Using BODMAS rule
⇒ [4 / 2] + 1
⇒ 2 + 1
3
Since you need a little bit of trigonometry to solve this problem,
I'm pretty sure you've had a little bit of trigonometry in class before
you were assigned to solve this problem.
-- The shaded triangle comes from taking the equilateral triangle and
either folding it in half or cutting it in half.
-- The base that the new triangle is standing on is 1/2 the base of the
equilateral triangle, so it's 7 cm long.
-- The acute angle at the right end of the base is the same as it was in
the equilateral triangle . . . 60 degrees.
-- The tangent of 60 degrees is (opposite side)/(adjacent side) = x / 7 cm
tan(60) = x/7
-- Multiply each side of this little equation by 7 : 7 tan(60) = x
If you don't have the tangent of 60 degrees in your pocket, you can
find it with your calculator. Multiply it by 7, and Shazam, you know 'x' .
2/3 divided by 4= 2/3x1/4 (flip 4 around). 2x1=2 & 3x4=12. 2/12 or 1/6
