Question

Sam is determining the area of a triangle. In this triangle, the value for the height is a terminating decimal, and the value for the

base is a repeating decimal. What can be concluded about the area of this triangle?

Answer 1

bro just say its C

Explanation:

Answer 2

The area is rational because the numbers in the formula are rational.

Explanation:

All repeating decimals are still rational because they can be expressed as fractions. For example,

`$(1)/(7)=0.\overline{142857}$\end{document}`

So every recurring decimal must be a fraction.

Also every terminating decimal can be represented as a fraction.

0.25 =
`(1)/(4)`

So the area is rational because the numbers are rational.

Area =
`(1)/(2)` X Base X Height

Base is Rational and Height is Rational. Hence Area=Rational.

When these rational numbers are substituted into the formula,the area must be rational.
