To analyze the statements using rational approximations, we need to compare the values involved:
-
16 square feet > 4:
- This statement is true because 16 is greater than 4.
-
12 square feet < π:
- The value of π (approximately 3.14) is less than 12, so this statement is false.
-
12 square feet > π:
- This statement is true because 12 is greater than π (approximately 3.14).
-
16 square feet < 4:
- This statement is false because 16 is greater than 4.
Based on this analysis, the true statements are:
- 16 square feet > 4
- 12 square feet > π
So the statements that are true are the first and third ones.
