Question

4 squared + 8 squared = C squared
rounding it to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

Take 4 squared, add it to 8 squared, and then take the square root of that number.

(because we want to "undo" c being squared.)

Then just round that to one decimal place. :)

Answer 2

i got the first part but hod i round it to a decimal place

Answer 3

So say we have a number like:

3.465645

Chop it off two places after the decimal: 3.46

Now look at the number AFTER 4 -- it's bigger than 5, so we round UP. :)

final answer 3.5.

(I just made up that number by the way, it's not related to your prob.)

Answer 4

so i just needa ask this question what's the difference between rounding to the nearest tenth and the nearest hundreth

Answer 5

So rounding goes like this: x.123

1 = tenths
2 = hundredths
3 = thousandths

Rounding to the tenths = one number after decimal
rounding to the hundredths = two numbers after the decimal
rounding to the thousandths = three numbers after the decimal

Answer 6

Oh, RANDOM NOTE. If you like Horror, read "The Langoliers" by Stephen King. Also "The Shining". Both are insanely creepy. :)

Answer 7

thanks and for the question im kinda confused cause when i added and squared and stuff i didn't get a decimal

Answer 8

After you add the squared stuff you have to take the square root of it. I'm pretty sure that will give you a decimal.

Answer 9

oooh okay i'll do that then

Answer 10

so what if the number after the one after the decimal is less than 4
EX. 4.62 what do i do then
