Question

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

3<9–√
3 less than start root 9 end root

π>9–√
pi greater than start root 9 end root

3>9–√
3 greater than start root 9 end root

π<9–√

Answer 1

To determine which statement is true involving \( \sqrt{9} \), let's compute \( \sqrt{9} \):

\[
\sqrt{9} = 3
\]

Now we can evaluate the options given:

1. **\( 3 < \sqrt{9} \)**:
- This statement is **false** since \( 3 \) is equal to \( \sqrt{9} \).

2. **\( \pi > \sqrt{9} \)**:
- Since \( \pi \approx 3.14 \), this statement is **true** because \( \pi \) is indeed greater than \( 3 \).

3. **\( 3 > \sqrt{9} \)**:
- This statement is **false** since they are equal.

4. **\( \pi < \sqrt{9} \)**:
- This statement is **false** because \( \pi \) is greater than \( \sqrt{9} \).

Therefore, the correct statement is:

\(\pi > \sqrt{9}\)
