Answer:
If the largest angle in a triangle is 70, what is the least possible value of the smallest angle of the triangle?
Let the triangle be called △ABC and let ∠A be the largest angle and ∠C be the smallest angle.
⇒∠A=70.
If the largest angle in a triangle is 70, the sum of the other two angles is 110.
⇒∠B+∠C=110.
At the least possible value of ∠C, the value of ∠B would be the greatest possible value.
Since ∠A is the largest angle, ∠B cannot be greater than or equal to ∠A.
Let ∠B=∠A−δ, where δ is an arbitrarily small positive number.
⇒∠C=110−∠B=110−∠A+δ=40+δ.
⇒ To get the least possible value of ∠C, we have to get the least possible value of δ.
For any positive value of δ, no matter how small, we can always get a number δ2 smaller than that number.
⇒ There is no least possible value of δ.
⇒ There is no least possible value of the smallest angle of the triangle, meeting the given conditions.
