Determine whether sqrt(49/100) is rational or irrational. \n" ); document.write( "It's rational; it is 7/10. \n" ); document.write( "------------------ \n" ); document.write( "Determine whether -(16)^1/4 is rational or irrational. That is minus the 4th root of 16 \n" ); document.write( "= -4 \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Find the altitude of an isosceles triangle with sides of 13 inches and a base of 10 inches. \n" ); document.write( "Draw the picture. The altitude forms two rt. triangles. \n" ); document.write( "Use Pythagoras: altitude^2=13^2-5^2 \n" ); document.write( "altitude = sqrt 144 = 12 inches \n" ); document.write( "-------------------- \n" ); document.write( "A right triangle has one side of 45 feet and the hypothenus is 51 feet. What is the length of the other side? \n" ); document.write( "(other side)^2=51^2-45^2=576 \n" ); document.write( "other side = 24 feet. \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
