1 answer

To evaluate the inequalities provided, let's first calculate the square roots involved.

  1. \(\sqrt{8}\): \[ \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 2} = 2\sqrt{2} \approx 2 \cdot 1.414 \approx 2.828 \]

  2. \(\sqrt{6}\): \[ \sqrt{6} \approx 2.449 \]

  3. \(\sqrt{2}\): \[ \sqrt{2} \approx 1.414 \]

Now we can evaluate each inequality:

  1. \(8 - \sqrt{8} > 3\): \[ 8 - 2.828 \approx 5.172 > 3 \quad \text{(True)} \]

  2. \(8 - \sqrt{8} > \sqrt{6}\): \[ 5.172 > 2.449 \quad \text{(True)} \]

  3. \(\sqrt{6} < 2\): \[ 2.449 < 2 \quad \text{(False)} \]

  4. \(\sqrt{6} < 2.8\): \[ 2.449 < 2.828 \quad \text{(True)} \]

  5. \(\sqrt{8} < 5\): \[ 2.828 < 5 \quad \text{(True)} \]

  6. \(0 < \sqrt{4}\): \[ 0 < 2 \quad \text{(True)} \]

Therefore, the correct statements from the list of inequalities that are true are:

  1. \(8 - \sqrt{8} > 3\)
  2. \(8 - \sqrt{8} > \sqrt{6}\)
  3. \(\sqrt{6} < 2.8\)

Thus, the three correct answers are:

  1. \(8 - \sqrt{8} > 3\)
  2. \(8 - \sqrt{8} > \sqrt{6}\)
  3. \(\sqrt{6} < 2.8\)
