An irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio between two numbers and it cannot be written as a simple fraction because there is not a finite number of numbers when written as a decimal. Instead, the numbers in the decimal would go on forever, without repeating.
Answer:
x = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can use the exterior angle theorem, which means the measure of an exterior angle is the sum of its remote interior angles. In this case, this would mean:
x + 72 = 5x
Since this gives us an equation, we can just solve for x:
x + 72 = 5x
72 = 4x
x = 18
9 = 3^2
Since 3 squared equals 9, that is how 9 as a power of the base 3 should be written.

= 369
Okay, so it says he descends 285 feet after he's climbed 369 feet. That means he needs to descend a bit more to reach 453 feet, which we'll just call 0 for now. First, we need to do some subtraction:
369
- 285
= 84
Okay, we know he needs to descend 84 feet to get to his starting point.
So your answer is C
