## anonymous 4 years ago What is this rounded to the nearest tenth?

1. anonymous

$\sqrt{180}$

2. phi

did you type sqrt(180)= in the google search window? what did you get?

3. anonymous

sqrt(180) = 13.4164079

4. phi

do you see the tenths position? It has a 4 in it. Look at the number after it. Is it 5 or bigger?

5. anonymous

well the one right after 4 is 1 but then comes 6....

6. anonymous

but no 1 is less than 5

7. phi

so, do you remember the rule. what is 13.41 rounded to the nearest tenth?

8. anonymous

13.42? Haha

9. anonymous

Idk if you have a chance with me but Phi is great at math :P

10. phi

the rule is : if the number after the 4 is 5 or bigger, make the 4 a 5. if the number after the 4 is less than 5, just keep the 4.

11. anonymous

so is it 13.41 or 13.44?

12. phi

|dw:1328289204791:dw|

13. phi

when they ask for round to the nearest tenth, the answer must have only tenths (just 1 number after the decimal point)

14. phi

can you round 13.43 to the nearest tenth?

15. anonymous

is it 13.41 or not?

16. phi

sqrt(180) = 13.4 (rounded to the nearest tenth)

17. anonymous

which is!?

18. anonymous

A. 13.41 B. 13.42 C. 13.43 D. 13.44

19. anonymous

Phi dearrrr?

20. phi

what is the original question? you have What is this rounded to the nearest tenth? but it looks like the answers are all rounded to the nearest hundreth if it is to the nearest hundreth then we must round 13.416 by looking at the number after the 1. It is 6. so round to 13.42

21. anonymous

phi would the answer to my question be Quadrilateral Y X D A is similar to Quadrilateral F W P M.

22. anonymous

XDlHello I don't think anyone know's :(

23. anonymous
