The ratio of the length of square A to the length of square B is 3:5. If the length of square A is 18 meters, what is the perimeter of square B
It is 1/4 or 0.25
Sure. Let's take an example with numbers instead of variables. 8/9 is a rational number - the ratio of two integers. If you square it, you get (8/9)2 = 82/92 = 64/81; that is, if you square each integer, you get an integer again. Therefore, the resulting number is rational again - a number that can be expressed as the ratio of two integers. Replace with any other integers; you will still have a ratio of integers if you square it.
The negative square root of 16 is -4. It can be written as the ratio of 792 to -198, so it's rational.
√99 = Square root of 99 = Irrational. Rational # are able to be expressed as the ratio of 2 integers. i.e. √25 = +5 5 = 5/1 = rational Irrational # can not be expressed as a ratio of 2 integers.
