A. 48−−√>36−−√
B. 49−−√<7
C.49−−√>7
D. 48−−√<36−−√-----
IS QUESTION D THE CORRECT ANSWER!
1 answer
Yes, D is the correct answer. By rational approximation, we can see that √48 is approximately 6.928, and √36 is approximately 6. The statement 48−−√<36−−√ can be written as 6.928 < 6, which is false. Therefore, the correct statement is 48−−√>36−−√.
