The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the statements are true, we will evaluate each statement step by step. ### Statement I: \( 2\sqrt{3} > 3\sqrt{2} \) 1. **Calculate \( 2\sqrt{3} \)**: - The value of \( \sqrt{3} \) is approximately \( 1.732 \). - Therefore, \( 2\sqrt{3} = 2 \times 1.732 \approx 3.464 \). 2. **Calculate \( 3\sqrt{2} \)**: - The value of \( \sqrt{2} \) is approximately \( 1.414 \). - Therefore, \( 3\sqrt{2} = 3 \times 1.414 \approx 4.242 \). 3. **Compare the two values**: - We have \( 2\sqrt{3} \approx 3.464 \) and \( 3\sqrt{2} \approx 4.242 \). - Since \( 3.464 < 4.242 \), the statement \( 2\sqrt{3} > 3\sqrt{2} \) is **FALSE**. ### Statement II: \( 4\sqrt{2} > 2\sqrt{8} \) 1. **Calculate \( 4\sqrt{2} \)**: - We already know \( \sqrt{2} \approx 1.414 \). - Therefore, \( 4\sqrt{2} = 4 \times 1.414 \approx 5.656 \). 2. **Calculate \( 2\sqrt{8} \)**: - First, simplify \( \sqrt{8} = \sqrt{4 \times 2} = 2\sqrt{2} \). - Therefore, \( 2\sqrt{8} = 2 \times 2\sqrt{2} = 4\sqrt{2} \). - Thus, \( 2\sqrt{8} = 4\sqrt{2} \). 3. **Compare the two values**: - We have \( 4\sqrt{2} \) on both sides. - Therefore, \( 4\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{8} \), which means the statement \( 4\sqrt{2} > 2\sqrt{8} \) is **FALSE**. ### Conclusion: Both statements are false. Therefore, the answer is that neither statement I nor statement II is true. ### Final Answer: Neither statement I nor statement II is true. ---
