thanks a lot you are right....ans is 27root3

The border is root 3. But I didnt get the calculation part...

Can you please explain it in detail

Any decimal that has only a finite number of nonzero digits is a terminating decimal. For example, 36, 0.72, and 3.005 are terminating decimals.
If a, b, c, d and e are integers and p = 2a3b and q = 2c3d5e, is p

q a terminating decimal?



(1) a > c

2) b>d

Hey Zenith,

Can you tell me.. how did you manage to draw the triangles, circles etc.. can you tell me the software which you used...

[zenithexe]

I'm using Photoshop CS2, I'm sure there are more programs out there that can do the same thing, I'm just using Photoshop coz I have it installed in my PC

btw

jagmohi, you should post only one question per post.
