Answer:

√130 > 11.1 > √121 > π²

Explanation:

For the purposes of ordering numbers written in different forms, it is often helpful to convert them to the same form.

Values in decimal

Given the availability of calculators that display their results in decimal, it is convenient to use one to write these values to an appropriate precision.

√121 = 11.0

π² ≈ 9.9

11.1 = 11.1

√130 ≈ 11.4

Decreasing order

Using the usual method of comparing decimal values, we find the decreasing order to be ...

11.4 > 11.1 > 11.0 > 9.9

√130 > 11.1 > √121 > π²

List the following in descending order. √121, pi², 11.1, √130-example-1
