Common means similar/alike in this case. to have the highest common factor, you need it to be common with the two numbers. both numbers are negative, so the highest common factor is also negative.

remember, you aren't multiplying/dividing to get a product or quotient; you'r simply looking for a number.

i hope my explanation helped! x

Dominic is 1.75 meters tall. At 2 p.m., he measures the length of a tree's shadow to be 37.95 meters. He stands 33.7 meters away
Mama L [17]

Using similarity principle, the height of the tree is 1.97 meters

<h3>How to find height of the tree?</h3>

He is 1.75 meters tall.

His shadow = 33.7 meters

The length of the tree shadows = 37.95 meters

Using similarity principles where the corresponding length are a ratio of each other.

Therefore,

1.75 / x = 33.7 / 37.95

cross multiply

37.95 × 1.75 = 33.7x

66.4125 = 33.7x

divide both sides by 33.7

x = 66.4125 / 33.7

x = 1.97069732938

x = 1.97 meters

Irrational numbers cannot be written as a ratio…irrational means not rational. All fractions of integers are Rational.
TiliK225 [7]

with the exception of perfect squares, all square root of whole numbers are irrational, e.g. √5

how about this one:

2.34334333433334.... I am increasing the number of 3s each time, thus

creating a decimal which never ends and never repeats.

or

12.3456789101112131415.... can you see what I am doing?

will it ever end? will it ever repeat?
