Answer:

9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

First you figure out that the shadow is 2.5 times larger than what is casting it. Then you divide 24 by 2.5.

A porch has the shape of a quarter circle. If the porch was a complete circle it would have a diameter of 5 ft. What is the appr
Sladkaya [172]
Normally, to find the area of a circle you'd do π × r^{2} so you have to find the radius by dividing 5 by 2 to get 2.5. Approximating pi as 3.14, you would do 3.14 × 2.5^{2} = 19.625. Because the porch is a quarter circle, you would then divide this by 4 to get 4.906. Rounded to the nearest square foot, your answer would therefore be 5 ft. I hope this helps!

Please help me with this question!!
stepladder [879]

Answer:

  1. rational
  2. irrational
  3. irrational
  4. irrational
  5. √7, it is irrational

Step-by-step explanation:

A <em>rational</em> number is one that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. All fractions that have integer numerators and (non-zero) denominators are <em>rational</em> numbers. Any finite decimal number, or any repeating decimal number, is a rational number. These can always be expressed as the ratio of two integers. For example, 0.4040... = 40/99, and 0.286 = 286/1000.

To make an irrational sum, at least one of the contributors must be irrational. You want an irrational 2-number sum that has 7/8 as one of the contributors. Since 7/8 is rational, the other contributor must be irrational.

__

<u>Step 1</u>. The number 7/8 is <em>rational</em>.

<u>Step 2</u>. The desired sum is <em>irrational</em>.

<u>Step 3</u>. The rule <em>rational + </em><em>irrational</em><em> = irrational</em> applies.

<u>Step 4</u>. An <em>irrational</em> number must be chosen.

Step 5. √7 will produce an irrational sum, because <em>it is irrational</em>.
