Answer:

11 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say that  w = width of the rectangle, to start. If the length of the rectangle is 3 meters greater than 2 times the width, the length of the rectangle is equal to 3 + 2w.  

The perimeter of the rectangle is 2 * length of rectangle + 2 * width of the rectangle. With the perimeter being equal to 30 and width being w and length being 2w+3:

The perimeter of the rectangle is 2(w) + 2(2w+3) = 30.  

We first need to find out w first, which will give us the width of the rectangle. Taking it step by step, we get:

2w + 4w + 6 = 30

6w + 6= 30

6w = 24 which is done by subtracting both sides by 6 to put the variables on one side and the values on the other side

w = 4 which is done by dividing 6 on both sides

Ultimately, this gets width to be 4 meters. Now that we found the width, we need to plug w = 4 into the equation we set up for length which is 2w+3.

That being said, the ANSWER is:

length of rectangle = 2(4)+3 = 11 meters

Hope this helps! :)

Is 3.734795.... a rational or irrational number? and why
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Let's look at what makes a number rational or irrational ...

Rational Numbers

A Rational Number can be written as a Ratio of two integers (ie a simple fraction).

Example: 1.5 is rational, because it can be written as the ratio 3/2

Example: 7 is rational, because it can be written as the ratio 7/1

Example 0.333... (3 repeating) is also rational, because it can be written as the ratio 1/3

 

Irrational Numbers

But some numbers cannot be written as a ratio of two integers ...

...they are called Irrational Numbers.

Example: π (Pi) is a famous irrational number.

Pi

π = 3.1415926535897932384626433832795... (and more)

We cannot write down a simple fraction that equals Pi.

The popular approximation of 22/7 = 3.1428571428571... is close but not accurate.

Another clue is that the decimal goes on forever without repeating.

Cannot Be Written as a Fraction

It is irrational because it cannot be written as a ratio (or fraction),

not because it is crazy!

So we can tell if it is Rational or Irrational by trying to write the number as a simple fraction.

Example: 9.5 can be written as a simple fraction like this:

9.5 =  

19

2

 

So it is a rational number (and so is not irrational)

Here are some more examples:

Irrational?

1.75    

7

4

   Rational

.001    

1

1000

   Rational

√2

(square root of 2)   ?   Irrational !

Square Root of 2

Let's look at the square root of 2 more closely.

square root 2 When we draw a square of size "1",

what is the distance across the diagonal?

The answer is the square root of 2, which is 1.4142135623730950...(etc)

But it is not a number like 3, or five-thirds, or anything like that ...

... in fact we cannot write the square root of 2 using a ratio of two numbers

... I explain why on the Is It Irrational? page,

... and so we know it is an irrational number

Famous Irrational Numbers

Pi    

Pi is a famous irrational number. People have calculated Pi to over a quadrillion decimal places and still there is no pattern. The first few digits look like this:

3.1415926535897932384626433832795 (and more ...)

e (eulers number)    

The number e (Euler's Number) is another famous irrational number. People have also calculated e to lots of decimal places without any pattern showing. The first few digits look like this:

2.7182818284590452353602874713527 (and more ...)

phi    

The Golden Ratio is an irrational number. The first few digits look like this:

1.61803398874989484820... (and more ...)

radical symbol    

Many square roots, cube roots, etc are also irrational numbers. Examples:

√3 1.7320508075688772935274463415059 (etc)

√99 9.9498743710661995473447982100121 (etc)

But √4 = 2 (rational), and √9 = 3 (rational) ...

... so not all roots are irrational.

pls, branliest :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanations: sometimes 5 times (number) is 250 but in this case your teacher did not tell you to multiply it by 10 but instead multiplying it by 5
