To compare \( 15\pi \) and \( 3\sqrt{62} \), we first need to calculate their approximate values.
-
Calculate \( 15\pi \): \[ \pi \approx 3.14 \implies 15\pi \approx 15 \times 3.14 = 47.1 \]
-
Calculate \( 3\sqrt{62} \): \[ \sqrt{62} \approx 7.87 \implies 3\sqrt{62} \approx 3 \times 7.87 \approx 23.61 \]
Now we compare the two values:
- \( 15\pi \approx 47.1 \)
- \( 3\sqrt{62} \approx 23.61 \)
Since \( 47.1 > 23.61 \), we can conclude that:
\[ 15\pi > 3\sqrt{62} \]
Therefore, the missing symbol is \( > \).
The answer is C. >.
