The square root of 20 is 4.472135955. This is an irrational number because rational numbers are repeating decimals. This is not a repeating decimal and it cannot be expressed as a fraction. So, it is in fact a irrational number. 

I hope this helps:)

A number is rational if it can be written in form a/b where a and b are integers and b is not equal to 0
integers are like -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4, etc


so
√20=2√5 which is irrational because we can't write it as a fraciton with only integers

also a rational number multilied by an irratinonal number=irrtaional
we know that the square root of any prime number will be irrational and 5 is prime so 2 times √5=rational times irrational=irrational

√20 is irrational

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

  • A, C, E

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Options:</u>

A. m∠C + m∠E = m∠A

  • Correct. Exterior angle equals to sum of non-adjacent interior angles.

B.   m∠D + m∠F = m∠B

  • Incorrect. Exterior angles have greater value.

C. m∠B + m∠C + m∠E = 180°

  • Correct. Interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°

D. m∠B + m∠C + m∠D = 180°

  • Incorrect. Angles C and D sum to 180°

E. m∠A + m∠ B = m∠E + m∠F

  • Correct. Both sides of equation refer to straight angle.

F . m∠B + m∠C + m∠ E = m∠A + m∠D + m∠F

  • Incorrect. Some of interior angles is not equal to sum of exterior angles.

The midpoint of K is M(-3, -1). One endpoint is J(-12, -11). What are the coordinates of endpoint K?
Over [174]

Answer: 2 times sqrt(181) (approximately 26.9)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can plot these points on a graph. Then, we’ll use the Distance Formula to calculate the distance between the two points, which is sqrt(181).


Since the problem tells us that one of our coordinates is the midpoint of K, we know that the length of the segment we just calculated is 1/2 of K. We can multiply our answer to get that K is 2 times sqrt(181).

15PTS PLEASE HELP ASAP!!<br> (dont write random answers pls!)
ikadub [295]

Answer:

to find the answer, you need to find the measure of the angle on the other side of the 142. and since it's a straight line, those two angles measures are =to 180 (they're supplementary angles). so the measure of that angle is 38 degrees. to find the measure of the remaining angle, you subtract the angle measures you already know from 180 (because the sum of interior angles in a triangle is 180.) to, the answer is:

180-90-38= 52 degrees or A
