Question

sqrt(16)

0.133134135

0.789

0.424242424

sqrt(101)

#Irrational because it is the square root of a non-perfect square

#Rational because the decimal does not terminate

Rational because the decimal terminates

Rational because it is the square root of a perfect square

Irrational because the decimal is non-terminating, non-repeating

Rational because the decimal repeats

#Irrational because the decimal repeats

Answer 1

sqrt(16) = 4

sqrt(101) is irrational because it is the square root of a non-perfect square.

Therefore, the correct matching is:

4 - Rational because it is the square root of a perfect square
0.133134135 - Irrational because the decimal is non-terminating, non-repeating
0.789 - Rational because the decimal terminates
0.424242424 - Rational because the decimal repeats
sqrt(101) - Irrational because it is the square root of a non-perfect square
