Question
Identify the following as rational or irrational numbers. Give the decimal representation of rational numbers:
$\sqrt{1.44}$
$\sqrt{1.44}$
✓
Answer
We have,
$\sqrt{1.44}$
$=\sqrt{\Big(\frac{144}{100}\Big)}$
$=\frac{12}{10}$
$=1.2$
Every terminating decimal is a rational number, so 1.2 is a rational number. Its decimal representation is 1.2.
$\sqrt{1.44}$
$=\sqrt{\Big(\frac{144}{100}\Big)}$
$=\frac{12}{10}$
$=1.2$
Every terminating decimal is a rational number, so 1.2 is a rational number. Its decimal representation is 1.2.

→A forest ranger keeps track of bears in his area. He plotted their location on a graph. The origin represents the ranger's control room’s location. To access and maintain equipment, Road x and Road yhave been laid and paved inside the forest. They pass through the control room.
One unit on the graph paper represents 1 km.
1. In the forest, rain shelters are at an interval of 2 km along paved roads. A forest ranger is travelling on Road x. He crosses a rain shelter located at (3, 0).
What is likely to be the location of the next shelter?
2. The control room receives a message about trespassers located at (–9, –8). The trespassers were seen moving towards Road x on foot. The ranger immediately dispatches a team of guards in a jeep towards them. The guards encounter the trespassers before crossing Road x.
Which of the following is most likely to be the location of the encounter?
