how can i help?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A. 0.46
B. \[\sqrt{100}\] over 3
C. \[\sqrt{8}\]
D. 0.8 (Repeating)
OpenStudy (love_ranaa):
Heads up: If the answer is a terminating or repeating number, it is not an irrational number, so cross those out
OpenStudy (love_ranaa):
So we can see right now that D and A are crossed out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Would it be B?

The square root of 100 is 10 divided by 3 is 3.3 (repeating)
The square root of 8 is 2.842
So what do you think?
OpenStudy (misty1212):
HI!!
OpenStudy (misty1212):
i think it would be a miracle if \(\sqrt{8}=2.842\)

8 is not a perfect square
OpenStudy (misty1212):
so pick \(\sqrt8\)
OpenStudy (love_ranaa):
Right :)
The answer is C
