A number that is repeated periodically is an irrational number! <span>Error lies in the fact that if we have a decimal value and a string repeat it (at some time) it is an irrational number, that is, it can not be represented as a fraction. It is scientifically proven.</span>

It is a rational number because it can be put into a fraction using ordinary whole numbers.

On the other hand a fraction containing ordinary whole numbers isn't available for pi. Therefore, pi is irrational.

Kyle is making a frame for a rectangular piece of art. The length of the frame is 3 times the width, as shown below.
NeX [460]

Answer:

3.75 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the frame is 3 times the width.

Let the width be x.

The length will be 3x.

Kyle uses 10 feet of wood to make the frame. This means that the perimeter is 10 feet.

The perimeter of a rectangle is:

P = 2(L + W)

=> 10 = 2(3x + x)

=> 10/2 = 4x

5 = 4x

=> x = 5/4 = 1.25 feet

The width is 1.25 feet. The length is therefore:

1.25 * 3 = 3.75 feet
