if I wanted to estimate 59−−√, the first step would be to find the two ______ squares that 59 lies _______ on the number line. The closest perfect square less than 59 is ______. The closest perfect square greater than 59 is _______. I could then think about the number 59 and how close it is to the smaller perfect square and the larger perfect square. I could then take the _________ root of the perfect squares to see how I would estimate 59−−√. The 59−−√ is closest to _________
eh? surely, 59 is closer to 64 than it is to 49.
So √59 is closer to 8 than it is to 7.
