Question
If `sqrt2` = 1.4 and `sqrt3` = 1.7, find the value of `(2 - sqrt3)/(sqrt3).`
Advertisements
Solution
`(2 - sqrt3)/(sqrt3)`
`= (2 - sqrt3)/(sqrt3) xx sqrt3/sqrt3`
`= ((2 - sqrt3) xx sqrt3)/(sqrt3 xx sqrt3)`
`= (2sqrt3 - 3)/3`
= `2/(√3) - (√3)/(√3)`
`= (2 xx 1.7 - 3)/3`
`= (3.4 - 3)/3`
`= 0.4/3`
= 0.1
