Yes, in the sense that the new area could be written as (x+1)^2  /   1.
Usually we would not bother with the "1" as divisor.

Let's actually do the work:  what is the area of the square if we increase the side length of the existing square by 1 ft?

(x+1)^2 = x^2 + 2x + 1        (This is not a fraction, and thus not the ratio of
                                            two integers, which, in turn, is the definition of
                                            "rational number."

Answer:

The area is a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A ballroom has a square dance floor. The area of the floor is 400 square feet.

Area of square = (side)²

Substitute the respective value in above formula.

400 = (side)²

√400 = side

20 feet = side

Ignore the negative value as side cannot be a negative number.

Now it is given that the length of each side of the square increased by one foot,

Thus, the new side is 20 + 1 = 21 feet

Now find the area of new square = (side)²

A = 21²

A = 21×21

A = 441 square feet

The number 441 is a rational number.

Hence, the area is a rational number.

Nate is constructing a tangent line to a circle he drew from a point outside the circle. Once he has the circle and the point is
Tema [17]

Answer:

The next step is to find the point on the circle which makes a tangent line that passes through the outside point.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent line to a circle is a line that touches the circle at exactly one point. You need two points to draw a line. You already have one point and the circle, then you need the other point, which lies on the circle. These two points have to lie on the same line. Notice that there are two possible tangent lines.
