2 answers:
Answer:
10.86
Step-by-step explanation:
If you solve for , you get the number 10.86278049... It is an irrational number because you can't expresse it with a fraction and it has infinite decimal places that don't follow a sequence.
To round it to the nearest hundred you will have to only leave 2 decimal places:
From the number 10.86278049, you only want to have the first 2 decimal places, but we have to take 3 decimal places first to analyze:
<em>10.862</em>
In this case, we see the third decimal place which is a 2, if the third decimal place was 5 or bigger then the second will have to be changed to a number bigger, but in this case, it is 2 so we can leave it like it is and we will have as an answer 10.86
