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.

...Welcome to the asymptotic realm of mathematics. You've been pixelated, digitized and spaghettified. Life will never be the same again.

5. Find the mZABC if<br> ZABD = 35°, ZDBC = 55º.
Reika [66]

Answer:

m\angle ABC=90^o

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

m\angle ABC=m\angle ABD+m\angle DBC ----> by angle addition postulate

substitute the given values

m\angle ABC=35^o+55^o=90^o

A shooting star forms a right triangle with the Earth and the Sun, as shown below:
frez [133]

The positions of the sun, earth and shooting star form a right angled triangle, where distance between earth and sun is 'y', and the angle 'x°' is given

Now, in a right angled triangle using trigonometry, we can determine a side of the triangle is one of the sides and one of the angles is known

Here, if we use cos x = \frac{Base}{Hypotenuse} we can determine the distance between the shooting star and the sun. This can be done because we know that the base is 'y', the angle is x° and the hypotenuse represents the distance between the sun and the shooting star

Note: cos values for each x are definite.
