Plz the assessment for this lesson is to participate in a discussion about composite figures. you will be able to participate in the discussion throughout the unit. you are required to complete the following: 1) respond to the discussion topic. 2) respond to your two of your classmates’ ideas as well. discussion topic: what is an example of a composite figure in your home or community? how would you decompose it to find the area? can you think of another reason that it would be to decompose these figures in addition to making it easier to find the area of the figure? before participating in the discussion, review the discussion guidelines and grading rubric used to evaluate your participation.

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
