Using rational approximations, what statement is true?
√81 < 9
√71 > √61
√71 < √61
√81 > 9
√81 = 9, so the statement "√81 < 9" is not true.
√71 cannot be expressed as a rational number, so it cannot be compared directly to √61 using rational approximations. Therefore, none of the statements "√71 > √61" or "√71 < √61" can be determined to be true or false using rational approximations.
√81 = 9, so the statement "√81 > 9" is not true.
The statement that is true using rational approximations among the given options is:
√81 > 9
Explanation: √81 = 9, and since 9 is equal to 9, it is true that √81 is greater than 9.
