Answer:
a) The formula for the area of a circle
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a circle is
A = πr²
π is an irrational number and, no matter what value you use for r, the area will be an irrational number,
b) is wrong. A = ½(a + b)h.
c) is wrong. A = ½bh.
d) is wrong. A = bh.
All measurements are rational numbers, so the areas will be rational numbers.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's express all the given numbers as decimals:
nine tenths- 0.9
0.3
0.8
five tenths- 0.5
two tenths- 0.2
Ordering them from least to greatest:
two tenths, 0.3, five tenths, 0.8, nine tenths
1) It's best to draw out a picture of a rectangle and label each corner with the coordinates given: Let's say (-5, 2) is point A, (-5, -2 1/3) is point B, (2 1/2, 2) is point C, and (2 1/2, -2 1/3) is point D.
2) That being said, line AB is one side of the rectangle, BC is another, CD is another, and lastly, AD is the fourth side.
3) We can use the distance formula and plug in the coordinates of each line to find how long every side is. Then you just need to solve it.
For example: if I want to find how long side AB is, I would use the point A (-5, 2) and B (2 1/2, 2) and plug them into the distance formula, where (-5, 2) is (x1, x2) and (2 1/2, 2) is (x2, y2) and solve that.
4) Repeat this process with side BC, CD, and AD, and add the results together. This will be your final answer; the perimeter of the rectangle.
