enth, then passes her answer to Zazeela, who rounds that answer to the nearest integer and gets 9. Yet, believe it or not, they all rounded correctly! (a) Give a specific number "x" for which this scenario could happen. Explain why it happens. (b) Describe all numbers x for which this scenario could happen.
A) 8.45 because rounded to the nearest integer is 8 and rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.5 which when rounded to the nearest integer is 9. b) The numbers that fit this scenario are <span>8.45 to 8.49</span>
By the Pythagorean Theorem, the lengths of the sides of a triangle satisfy if the triangle is a right triangle (in which case the angle between sides a and b is the right angle).
