Using rational approximations, what statement is true?(1 point)

Question

3 < √9

pi > √9

pi < √9

3 > √9

Answer 1

To evaluate the statements regarding √9, we first calculate √9:

\[ \sqrt{9} = 3 \]

Now, let's analyze the statements one by one:

1. 3 < √9

   • This reads as "3 is less than 3", which is false.

2. π > √9

   • Since √9 = 3, this reads as "π is greater than 3". This is true because π (approximately 3.14) is indeed greater than 3.

3. π < √9

   • This reads as "π is less than 3", which is false.

4. 3 > √9

   • This reads as "3 is greater than 3", which is also false.

Thus, the only true statement is:

π > √9
