What is the square root of 864

Mathematics

There are two ways to evaluate the square root of 864: using a calculator, and simplifying the root.

The first method is simplifying the root. While this doesn't give you an exact value, it reduces the number inside the root.

Find the prime factorization of 864:

\sqrt{864} = \sqrt{2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3}

Take any number that is repeated twice in the square root, and move it outside of the root:

\sqrt{864} = \sqrt{(2 \cdot 2) \cdot (2 \cdot 2) \cdot 2 \cdot (3 \cdot 3) \cdot 3}

\sqrt{2 \cdot 2} = \sqrt{4} = 2

\sqrt{3 \cdot 3} = \sqrt{9} = 3

\sqrt{(2 \cdot 2) \cdot (2 \cdot 2) \cdot 2 \cdot (3 \cdot 3) \cdot 3} = \sqrt{(4) \cdot (4) \cdot 2 \cdot (9) \cdot 3}

\sqrt{(4) \cdot (4) \cdot 2 \cdot (9) \cdot 3} = (2 \cdot 2 \cdot 3) \sqrt{2 \cdot 3} = \boxed{12 \sqrt{6}}

The simplified form of √864 will be 12√6.

The second method is evaluating the root. Using a calculator, we can find the exact value of √864.

Plugged into a calculator and rounded to the nearest hundredths value, √864 is equal to 29.39. Because square roots can be negative or positive when evaluated, this means that √864 is equal to ±29.39.

Dafna11 [192]
Correct answer is 33.1 m.

Use The definition of trigonometric functions. The sine of an angle is the quotient of the opposite side and hypotenuse.

sin{65^o}= \frac{30}{x} 
\\x= \frac{30}{sin{65^o}}
\\x=33.1

Find the area of the composite figure.
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

Option C, 488 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Determine the area of the rectangle</u>

A = l * w

A = 22\ cm * 17\ cm

A = 374\ cm^2

<u>Step 2:  Determine the area of the triangle</u>

A=\frac{h*b}{2}

A=\frac{19\ cm * (22\ cm-10\ cm)}{2}

A=\frac{19\ cm * (12\ cm)}{2}

A=\frac{228\ cm^2}{2}

A=114\ cm^2

<u>Step 3:  Determine the total area</u>

A_{total} = 374\ cm^2 + 114\ cm^2

A_{total} =488\ cm^2

Answer:  Option C, 488 square centimeters
