Question

Using rational approximations, what statement is true?(1 point) Responses
3 > √9
pi < √9
3 < √9
pi > √9

Answer 1

To evaluate the statements using rational approximations, we can analyze the square root of 9 and the value of π (pi):

1. **√9** equals 3, because 3 × 3 = 9.

Now we can evaluate each statement:

1. **3 > √9**: False, because 3 is equal to √9.
2. **π < √9**: True, as the approximate value of π (approximately 3.14) is greater than 3 (and hence greater than √9).
3. **3 < √9**: False, because 3 is equal to √9.
4. **π > √9**: True, as π (approximately 3.14) is greater than 3.

Therefore, the true statements are **π < √9** and **π > √9**. Since you can only choose one, the statement **π > √9** is true.
