Question

The inequality is: √81
>
√88.

Answer 1

To evaluate the inequality \( \sqrt{81} > \sqrt{88} \), we first calculate the square roots of both numbers.

1. \( \sqrt{81} = 9 \)
2. \( \sqrt{88} \) can be simplified but is approximately equal to \( 9.38 \) since \( \sqrt{88} \) simplifies to \( \sqrt{4 \times 22} = 2\sqrt{22} \).

Now we compare the two values:

- \( 9 > 9.38 \) is false.

Thus, the statement \( \sqrt{81} > \sqrt{88} \) is **not true**. Instead, we have:

\[
\sqrt{81} < \sqrt{88}
\]
