What is the difference between locating 3/5 on a number line and locating √5 on a number line?

3/5 is 0.6 and is a rational number.

√5 however is an irrational number.

It would be quite easy to find 0.6 on a number line. It's only 6/10. It's made up of six tenths.

Now √5 is equal to 2.236067977........ to infinitum.

It's made up of many little and random fractions; to a certain degree infinitely many little and random fractions.

This means that you'd never be able to find its precise value on a number line. You could zoom in to that line for eternity and never find the precise value of √5. You'd think you're getting closer to it's precise value - but it slips away and you just can't reach it.

Angle Q = 85° Determine angle O.
kkurt [141]

Answer:

∠O = 95°

Step-by-step explanation:

since ∠Q = 85°, arc NOP = 2(85°) = 170°

arc PQN = 360° - arc NOP

arc PQN = 360° - 170° = 190°

∠O = 1/2(arc PQN) = 1/2(190°) = 95°

Solve the simultaneous equations<br>8x – 3y = 30<br>3x + y = 7​
hodyreva [135]
Solve for y in 3x+7=y

y=7−3x

Substitute y=7−3x

y=7−3x into 8x−3y=30

8x−3y=30.

17x−21=30

Solve for x

x in 17x−21=30

17x−21=30.

X=3

Substitute x=3 into y=7−3x

y=-2

Therefore,

x=3

y=−2

ICE Princess25 [194]

Shawndra is correct

 

She made two statements, and both are true:

 

1. It is not possible to draw a trapezoid that is a rectangle.

This is true because a trapezoid<span> is a quadrilateral that has exactly one pair of parallel sides, whereas a rectangle is a parallelogram (i.e. it has two pairs of parallel sides)</span>

 

2. It is possible to draw a square that is a rectangle.

This is true because a rectangle refers to any parallelogram with right angles. A square is also a parallelogram (has two pairs of opposite sides) with right angles. In fact, all squares are rectangles; only that they are a special kind of rectangle, where all the sides are equal in length.
