The set of numbers that is always rational is **integers**.

Integers are whole numbers that can be positive, negative, or zero, and they can be expressed as fractions with a denominator of 1 (e.g., 3 can be expressed as 3/1).

Positive numbers, negative numbers, and decimals can include rational and irrational numbers, whereas integers are always rational.

To find the height of an equilateral triangle, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Height} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times \text{Side length}
\]

Given that the side length is 8 meters and using \( \sqrt{3} \approx \frac{7}{4} \), we can substitute these values into the formula:

1. First, substitute the value for the square root of 3:

\[
\text{Height} \approx \frac{7}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \times 8
\]

2. Simplifying this step by step:

\[
\text{Height} \approx \frac{7}{4} \times 4
\]

3. The 4's cancel out:

\[
\text{Height} \approx 7 \text{ meters}
\]

So, the approximate height of the equilateral triangle with a side length of 8 meters is **7 meters**.

To find the diagonal of a square, we can use the formula:

\[
\text{Diagonal} = \sqrt{2} \times \text{Side length}
\]

Given that the side length of the square park is 700 feet and using \( \sqrt{2} \approx 1.4 \), we can substitute these values into the formula:

1. Substitute the values:

\[
\text{Diagonal} \approx 1.4 \times 700
\]

2. Calculate the diagonal:

\[
\text{Diagonal} \approx 1.4 \times 700 = 980 \text{ feet}
\]

Therefore, the approximate length from one corner to the opposite corner of the square park is **980 feet**.

To find between which whole number and rational number (to the nearest half) the value of \( \sqrt{40} \) lies, we first need to compute \( \sqrt{40} \).

1. Simplifying \( \sqrt{40} \):

\[
\sqrt{40} = \sqrt{4 \times 10} = \sqrt{4} \times \sqrt{10} = 2\sqrt{10}
\]

Next, we can approximate \( \sqrt{10} \). The value of \( \sqrt{10} \) is approximately 3.162. Thus,

\[
\sqrt{40} \approx 2 \times 3.162 = 6.324
\]

2. Now, we will determine the whole number and the nearest half. The whole number parts surrounding 6.324 are:

- The largest whole number less than 6.324 is **6**.
- The smallest whole number greater than 6.324 is **7**.

3. To find the nearest half, we compare 6.324 to .0 and .5:

- It is closer to 6.5 than to 6.0.

**Conclusion**:

- The whole number is **6**.
- The rational number to the nearest half is **6.5**.

Therefore, \( \sqrt{40} \) is between **6** and **6.5**.

To find between which whole number and rational number (to the nearest half) \( \sqrt{58} \) lies, we can start by calculating \( \sqrt{58} \).

1. **Estimate \( \sqrt{58} \)**:

We know that:
- \( \sqrt{49} = 7 \)
- \( \sqrt{64} = 8 \)

Since \( 58 \) is between \( 49 \) and \( 64 \), we can conclude that:

\[
7 < \sqrt{58} < 8
\]

2. **Calculate \( \sqrt{58} \) more accurately**:

Using a calculator, we find:

\[
\sqrt{58} \approx 7.6158
\]

3. **Determine the whole number and rational number to the nearest half**:

- The largest whole number less than \( 7.6158 \) is **7**.
- The smallest whole number greater than \( 7.6158 \) is **8**.

To find the nearest half:
- \( 7.6158 \) is closer to \( 7.5 \) than to \( 8.0 \).

**Conclusion**:

- The whole number is **7**.
- The rational number to the nearest half is **7.5**.

Thus, \( \sqrt{58} \) is between **7** and **7.5**.
