Answer:
Irrational.
Step-by-step explanation:
Rational means that it is a whole number and can be written as a fraction. That doesn't apply for square rooted numbers. So,
is irrational.
Answer:
ABCD and EFGH
ABCD and PQRS (or EFGH and PQRS)
Dilate by a scale factor of 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Congruent means they have the same shape and size.
Similar means they have the same shape, but not necessarily the same size.
The orientation (rotation angle) or position do not matter.
EFGH is reflected and rotated, so it maintains the same shape and size as ABCD. Therefore, they are congruent.
PQRS is scaled and translated, so it has the same shape, but different size than ABCD. Therefore, they are similar but not congruent.
Also, PQRS is similar to EFGH, but not congruent.
To make EFGH congruent to PQRS, we need to make it the same size. So we need to scale EFGH by a factor of 3.
3 pipes take 12 hours
⇒ In 1 hour, the 3 pipes can fill 1/12 of the pool
2 of the pipes take 18 hours
⇒ in 1 hour, the 2 pipes can fill 1/18 of the pool
In 1 hour, the third pipe alone can fill :
