Read Sections 2.1-2.3, 2.6.
1. Give a geometric proof that $\sqrt{3}$ is irrational.
(Hint: It might be easier to show that $1+\sqrt{3}$ is irrational,
then deduce that $\sqrt{3}$ is also irrational.)
2. Use the Euclidean algorithm to find
an integral solution to $270x+168y = 6$.
3. What is the height of a regular tetrahedron of side length 1?
