Respuesta :

Answer:

It is irrational and equal to 4 multiplied by the square root of 2.

Therefore, option d is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the expression is

'square root of 18 plus square root of 2'.

i.e. [tex]\sqrt{18}+\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Lets solve the expression

[tex]\sqrt{18}+\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]=3\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}[/tex]         ∵ [tex]\sqrt{18}=3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]\mathrm{Add\:similar\:elements:}\:3\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}=4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

[tex]=4\sqrt{2}[/tex]  

or

[tex]=5.65685\dots[/tex]   (in decimal place)

  • 5.65685 indicates that it is irrational and can not be written in the form p/q

Thus, it is irrational and equal to 4 multiplied by the square root of 2.

Therefore, option d is true.

Answer:

I think it is D
