The answers are:
__________________________
    [B]:  "√12 " ;   AND:
__________________________
    [D]:  "<span>√20" .
__________________________
Note:  "Irrational numbers" have decimals that are:  1) non-terminating;  AND:  2) non-repeating.
__________________________
Consider the answer choices given; and consider the given information that there "should be no more than one answer.
__________________________________
Consider the following answer choices:
__________________________________
Choice A)  "</span><span>√9"  =  3 .  Rule out this choice.
__________________________________
Choice C)  "</span><span>√16" = 4 .  Rule out this choice.
__________________________________
Choice E)  "</span><span>√25" = 5.   Rule out this choice.
_________________________________
We are left with 2 (two) remaining answer choices:
    [B]:  "</span>√12"  ;  and:  [D]:  "<span>√20" .
_________________________________
If there are more than one answer, then these two choices should be the correct answer.   However, let us explore these two choices, using a calculator.
____________________________
    [B]:  </span>"√12"  =  3.4641016151377546

    [D]:  "√20"  =  4.4721359549995794
_________________________________
These two answer choices should the correct answers.

Geometry math question no Guessing and Please show work
WITCHER [35]

Answer: Choice A) 15 feet

=====================================

x = length of fourth side in quadrilateral ABCD

Have a look at the attached image I've posted. I made a chart that lines up the side lengths from largest to smallest. Note how the first two items in the bottom row are blank. We don't know these values and we don't need to find out in order to find x.

Based on the last two columns of that table, we can form the proportion below, which is then used to isolate x.

30/12 = x/6

30*6 = 12*x ... cross multiply

180 = 12*x

12*x = 180

x = 180/12 ... divide both sides by 12

x = 15

What is a way to write 11 more than twice x is less than 44
madam [21]

(2x) + 11 < 44

x is multiplied by two because we are looking for twice of x. 11 is added to the 2x because we are looking for eleven more than the sum of twice of x. Since 2x + 11 is less than 44, we use the lesser than ( < ) symbol.

Find the equation of the line that passes through (-1,2) and is perpendicular to
Natalija [7]

Answer:

Remember that the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1 - 2x     the slope is -2     the value of the x term.

So the slope of the new line using point (- 1, 2)  is  1/2.

Now use y = mx + b where y = -1, x = 2, and m = 1/2 .

y = mx + b

-1 = 1/2(2) + b                solve for "b", the y-intersect

-1 =  1 + b

-2 = b

The line that is perpendicular to y = 1 - 2x  is  y = 1/2x - 2
