Answer:
1) True
2) True
3) False
4) True
Step-by-step explanation:
1) You can compare irrational numbers using rational approximations
The above statement is true as given two irrational numbers which can be expressed in decimal format, by rounding up the numbers to a certain number of decimal places, the values of the irrational numbers will be different
2) Square roots can be compared and ordered by comparing and ordering the numbers underneath the radical symbol
The above statement is true as the the values of the numbers under the radical symbol are directly proportional to the square root
3) You cannot compare the value of rational and irrational numbers
The above statement is false because the value of an irrational number can be found between two rational numbers. Therefore, the value of an irrational number is higher than the rational number that precedes it on the left of a number line
4) The closer the numbers being compared, the more decimal places you need to use
The above statement is true as a higher level of detailed value of the numbers being compared will be required given the closeness in value of the numbers being compared.
Answer:
Heres the answer hope this helps! :)
We know that a triangle equals 180 degrees in total. We also know one of the angles so we can do 180-84= 96. This means that the other two angles must be equal to 96 degrees. We then set up (x+59)+(x+51)=96 "since both of the angles must add up to 96." Then we add like terms and get 2x+110=96. Further simplification gives us x= -7. Plug this into both angles and you get that angle A is 44 degrees.
If x represents the length of the box, then 42-x will be the girth. Since the largest area for a given girth is that of a square, the side length of the square cross section is (42 -x)/4.
The volume as a function of package length is then
.. v(x) = x((42-x)/4)^2
This has a maximum at x=14. The corresponding volume is 686 in^3.
