Answer:
The product of two rational numbers is a rational number
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll quickly recap the proof: a rational number is, by definition, the ratio between two integers. So, there exists four integers m,n,p,q such that
If we multiply the fractions, we have
Now, mp and nq are multiplication of integers, and thus they are integers themselves. So, ab is also a ratio between integer, and thus rational.

Answer:
14.2cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The diagram representing the circle and its attributes has been attached to this response.
<em>As shown in the diagram;</em>
The circle is centered at o,
The length of radius OL = 6cm
The length of the arc LM = 6.3cm
The angle MON = 75°
The angle LOM = θ
<em>Remember that;</em>
The length, L, of an arc is given by;
L = (θ / 360) x (2πr) -------------(i)
Where;
θ is the angle subtended by the arc
r = radius of the circle.
Using the formula in equation (i), let's calculate the angle θ subtended by arc LM as follows;
L = (θ / 360) x (2πr)
Where;
L = length of arc LM = 6.3cm
r = radius of the circle = length of radius OL = 6cm
<em>Substitute these values into the equation to get;</em>
6.3 = (θ / 360) x (2 x π x 6)
6.3 = (θ / 360) x (12 x π)
6.3 = (θ / 30) x (π) [Take π = 22/7]
6.3 = (θ / 30) x (22 / 7)
θ =
θ = 60.14°
Therefore, the angle subtended by arc LM is 60.14°
Now, from the diagram,
The angle subtended by arc LMN is;
θ + 75° = 60.14° + 75° = 135.14°
Let's now calculate the length of arc LMN using the same equation (i)
L = (θ / 360) x (2πr)
Where;
L = length of arc LMN
θ = angle subtended by LMN = 135.14°
r = radius of the circle = length of radius OL = 6cm
<em>Substitute these values into the equation;</em>
L = (135.14° / 360°) x (2 x π x 6) [Take π = 22/7]
L = 14.15cm
Therefore, the length of arc LMN is 14.2cm to the nearest tenth.
