Well, just by looking at the beginning of the problem, Jamelia had made the common mistake of thinking that
(<span>8.4852...)
</span>is equal to
(12)
If you want to estimate a square root like 72, simply find squares that would fit around the number you are looking to find, in our case, 72.
So 9*9 is 81, which is too high and 8*8 is 64, which is too low. So you know that somewhere between those numbers is what your root of 72 is!
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The line of reflection is x = 6.
Decimal division is super easy, let me show you how.
First, let's remove the decimal from both numbers. We have <em>184 </em>and <em>340</em>. Now let's multiply those two numbers.
184*340 = 62560.
Now, we need to figure out how many decimal places are in the original decimals. 18.<u>4</u> has one decimal place, and 3.<u>4</u> has one decimal place. (We don't count zeros at the end of a decimal as a decimal place.)
Now that we've figured out that there was a total of two decimal places, there can only be two decimal places in the answer. Let's take the 62560 that we got, and put a decimal in it. Remember, only two decimal places.
If there's only two decimal places in 62560, it would look like this: 62.<u>56</u> (<em>Remember, zeros at the end of a decimal does not count as a decimal place!)</em>
There's your final answer. 62.56.
Hope this explanation helped you out. :)
