The number of marbles left after forming the biggest possible equilateral triangle is 1.
The given parameters;
maximum number of marbles available = 52 marbles
An equilateral triangle is a type of triangle in which all the sides are equal.
Let the length of each side of the equilateral triangle = x
The three length of the triangle = 3x
The size of each length is calculated as;
3x = 52
[tex]x = \frac{52}{3} \\\\x = 17 \ \frac{1}{3}[/tex]
The biggest possible length is 17 and the remainder is 1
Thus, the number of marbles left after forming the biggest possible equilateral triangle is 1.
