To identify the rational, terminating decimal from the list, let's evaluate each option:

  1. 0.363636... - This is a repeating decimal and is therefore not a terminating decimal.

  2. √64 - This equals 8, which is a whole number and also a rational terminating decimal.

  3. 5/11 - This is a fraction that results in a repeating decimal (0.454545...), so it is not a terminating decimal.

  4. 7/9 - Like 5/11, this fraction also results in a repeating decimal (0.7777...), so it is not a terminating decimal.

Therefore, the rational, terminating decimal is √64, which equals 8.

Now, for matching the irrational numbers with points on the number line, let's first evaluate each square root:

  1. √59 - The square root of 59 is approximately 7.68 (between 7 and 8).

  2. √91 - The square root of 91 is approximately 9.54 (between 9 and 10).

  3. √38 - The square root of 38 is approximately 6.16 (between 6 and 7).

  4. √52 - The square root of 52 is approximately 7.21 (between 7 and 8).

Now let's match these:

  • Point (a) is likely associated with √38 (approximately 6.16).
  • Point (b) is likely associated with √52 (approximately 7.21).
  • Point (c) is likely associated with √59 (approximately 7.68).
  • Point (d) is likely associated with √91 (approximately 9.54).

So the final matches could be as follows:

  • √59 -> c
  • √91 -> d
  • √38 -> a
  • √52 -> b

If there are specific labels on the number line or more context needed, please provide that, and I would be glad to assist further!
