Question

Using rational approximations, what statement is true?(1 point)
Responses

π<√9
π<√9

π>√9
pi is greater than square root of 9

3<√9
3<√9

3>√9

Answer 1

To analyze each statement, we start by calculating the square root of 9.

\[
\sqrt{9} = 3
\]

Now we can evaluate each of the given statements:

1. **π < √9:** This means π < 3. However, π is approximately 3.14, so this statement is false.

2. **π > √9:** This means π > 3. As π is approximately 3.14, this statement is true.

3. **3 < √9:** This translates to 3 < 3, which is false.

4. **3 > √9:** This translates to 3 > 3, which is also false.

So the correct statement among the options is:

**π > √9**.
