Which two square roots are used to estimate 5
A. 1 and 2
B. 2 and 4
C. 4 and 9
D. 9 and 16
I think its C. or D. Am I right???
C is best
5 is not between 9 and 16
Okay thank you!!!
To estimate the square root of 5, we need to find two perfect square numbers that are close to 5.
Let's consider the given options:
A. 1 and 2: The square root of 1 is 1, and the square root of 2 is approximately 1.41. These values are not close to the square root of 5.
B. 2 and 4: The square root of 2 is approximately 1.41, and the square root of 4 is 2. These values are also not close to the square root of 5.
C. 4 and 9: The square root of 4 is 2, and the square root of 9 is 3. These values are relatively close to the square root of 5.
D. 9 and 16: The square root of 9 is 3, and the square root of 16 is 4. While these values are close to the square root of 5 individually, they are farther apart from each other compared to the values in option C.
Based on the above analysis, option C is the most appropriate choice for estimating the square root of 5. Therefore, your initial choice of option C is correct.
