Hey there! :D

Rational number- a number that can be put into a fraction, ratio, or is a repeating decimal.

Irrational number- a number that cannot be put into a fraction or ratio, and it's decimals never repeat.

So, 4/2+5/2= 9/2

9/2 is already a fraction, so we know it has to be a rational number.

I hope this helps!

As both 4/2 and 5/2 are rational Numbers and Sum of rationals is a Rational Number.
Therefore, 9/2 is a Rational Number.

The coordinates of rectangle ABCD are A(1, 2), B(4, 5),C(9, 0) and D(6, -3). What is the area of the rectangle? 18 square units

Natali5045456 [20]

In order to find the area of a rectangle, the formula is L*W (Length multiplied by Width). Our goal is to find these two measurements, so we will take the following steps:
1) Plot the coordinates on a graph (I have attached a visual guide)
2) Using the Pythagorean Theorem, or the Distance formula we can find the length and width: $\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1} )^{2} +(y_{2}-y_{1} )^{2}$
3) We will use these values in the Area formula for a rectangle (L*W)
4) After solving the Area formula with the values retrieved from the Distance Formula we find that the area is roughly 30 units squared.
