Joseph wants to find the side length of a square that has an area of 150. Should his answer be rational or irrational? Why?

Respuesta :

The solution cannot be written as a ratio of two integers, the solution is irrational

Area of a square

The formula calculating the area of a square is given as

A = L^2

Given the parameters

A = 150

Substitute

150 = L^2

l = √150
L= √25 * 6

L =5√6

Since the solution cannot be written as a ratio of two integers, the solution is irrational
