Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
When we compare positive fractions with the same numerator, the largest rational number will be the fraction with the lowest denominator
In this problem we have
and
Both numerator are equal
Compare the denominators
therefore
is the largest rational number
Answer:
58.1 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The length of each support rod can be found using the Pythagorean theorem. The geometry can be modeled by a right triangle, such that the distance from centre is one leg and half the length of the rod is the other leg of a triangle with hypotenuse equal to the radius of the grill.
__
<h3>Pythagorean theorem</h3>The theorem tells us that the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is the square of the hypotenuse. For legs a, b and hypotenuse c, this is ...
c² = a² +b²
<h3>application</h3>For the geometry of the grill, we can define a=7.5 and c=30. Then b will be half the length of the support rod.
30² = 7.5 +b²
b² = 900 -56.25 = 843.75
b = √843.75 ≈ 29.0473
The length of each support rod is twice this value, so ...
rod length = 2b = 2(29.0473) = 58.0947
Each support rod is about 58.1 cm long.
