To evaluate the given statements, let's find the rational approximations for each square root:
-
For \( \sqrt{61} \):
- \( \sqrt{61} \) is approximately 7.81 (since \( 7.8^2 = 60.84 \) and \( 7.9^2 = 62.41 \)).
-
For \( \sqrt{81} \):
- \( \sqrt{81} = 9 \).
Now let's analyze the statements:
-
\( 71 > \sqrt{61} \):
- Since \( \sqrt{61} \approx 7.81 \), this statement is true since \( 71 > 7.81 \).
-
\( 81 < 9 \):
- This statement is false as \( 81 > 9 \).
-
\( 81 > 9 \):
- This is true because \( 81 > 9 \).
-
\( 71 < \sqrt{61} \):
- This is false since \( 71 > 7.81 \).
Based on this analysis, the true statements are:
- \( 71 > \sqrt{61} \)
- \( 81 > 9 \)
Since you need one statement that is true, both \( 71 > \sqrt{61} \) and \( 81 > 9 \) are valid, but just pick one of them based on your requirement of 1 point. The statement "71 > √61" is true.
