square root of 19. its easy to everyone, but i still fail with it.
are you supposed to just write this in simplest form?
\[√19\]
more than 4, less than 5...
well im in the middle of getting the area of triangles and everytime i hit the square root button on the calculator it shows 4.6436346 random numbers.
thats because the square root of 19 is not a nice, pretty whole number. it is a nonterminating, non repeating decimal. Your calculator can only round to about 10 places. When you don't get a whole number for an answer you use the square root symbol
so i just but sqrt19?
yeah, you just leave it like that, unless the directions tell you to round the answer to a certain place. Thats when you use the square root button on the calculator
do u know how to get the area of triangles?
if you know the height it is \[\frac{1}{2}bh\]
if you know the lengths of two sides and the angle between them it is \[\frac{1}{2}ab\sin(\theta)\]
