Answer:
Use the value the problem statement tells you. Otherwise, use a better approximation.
Step-by-step explanation:
π ≈ 3.141592653589793238... (a non-repeating infinite decimal)
3.14 = 3.14
22/7 = 3.142857142857_142857
355/113 = 3.14159292035... (a very long repeating decimal)
You can see that the third decimal place is wrong in both of your approximations. The last approximation shown has 7 good decimal digits. A good scientific or graphing calculator will have an internal value for pi that is good to 10 or 12 digits or more (preferably, at least 32 digits).
You should use a value for pi that has at least one more digit of accuracy than the number of significant digits in your answer.
it would have to be a, because using pythagorean theorem, we can find that a squared + b squared = c squared. substitute that for 1 + b squared = 4; b squared=3 b = square root of 3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Let the number be x, and we have equation:</u>
- 16x + 2 = -7x - 21
- 16x + 7x = - 21 - 2
- 23x = - 23
- x = -1
The number is -1
