Prove that square root of 3 is irrational

1 answer:

6 0

Let us assume the contrary that root 3 is rational. Then √3 = p/q, where p, q are the integers i.e., p, q ∈ Z and co-primes, i.e., GCD (p,q) = 1. Here 3 is the prime number that divides p2, then 3 divides p and thus 3 is a factor of p. ... Therefore, the root of 3 is irrational.

DG¯¯¯¯¯¯ , EG¯¯¯¯¯ , and FG¯¯¯¯¯ are perpendicular bisectors of the sides of △ABC . DG=5 cm and BD=12 cm.

jonny [76]

Given that DG, EG, and FG are perpendicular bisectors of the sides of △ABC, this means that the point of intersection, G, is the circumcenter of the triangle and hence AG, BG, and CG are equal.

Given that DG = 5 cm and BD = 12 cm, then

$BG= \sqrt{DG^2+BD^2} \\ \\ = \sqrt{5^2+12^2} = \sqrt{25+144} \\ \\ = \sqrt{169} =13$

Since AG = BG = CG, therefore, CG = 13 cm.
