How can a rational number and irrational number when multiplied together make a irrational number ?
1 answer:
Answer:
"The product of a rational number and an irrational number is SOMETIMES irrational." If you multiply any irrational number by the rational number zero, the result will be zero, which is rational. Any other situation, however, of a rational times an irrational will be irrational
A better statement would be:
"The product of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is irrational

<u>Given</u>–
AB = 12 Cm
CD = 14 Cm
PO = 10 Cm
AP = 1/2 × 12 = 6 Cm
<u>Construction</u>–
Draw NO such that it is the perpendicular bisector of CB.
Hence,
ND = 1/2 × 14 = 7 Cm
To Find,
Measure of NO
<u>Solution</u>,
Here, PO Perpendicular to AB
Hence, APO is a right-angled triangle–
AO² = PO² + AP²
Or, AO² = 10 ² + 6 ²
Or, AO² = 36 + 100
Or, AO = √136 Cm
Or, AO = 11.66 Cm
Also, AO = OD = 11.66 Cm
( Radius of the same circle )
Now, in triangle OND,
OD² = ON² + ND ²
Or, 11.66 ² = ON² + 7²
Or, 136 = ON² + 49
Or, ON ² = 136 – 49
Or, ON ² = 87
Or, ON ² = √87
Or, ON = 9.3 Cm
Therefore, the appropriate length from center to CD is 9.3 Cm.
