3/12 is actually a quarter which is equal to 0.25.
In mathematics, a rational number is a number that can be expressed as the quotient or fraction p/q of two integers, a numerator,p, and a non-zero denominator q. For example, −3/7 is a rational number, as is every integer.
If the perimeter of a square measures 32 cm, each side measures 32/4= 8 cm, because all sides are equal.
The diagonal that passes through the center of the square divides the square into two triangles. The triangles are formed by a <u>hypotenuse </u>(the diagonal, which is k in this case), <u>and two sides,</u> that measure 8 cm each, in this case.
Because of Pythagoras' theorem, we know that the <u>lenght of the hypotenuse</u> (in this case the hypotenuse is k) equals the squared root of the sum of the squared sides, which in this case can be expressed as .
