Question

which point on the number line best represents √13?

number line

point a: in the middle of 2 and 3
point b: in between 3 and 4, alot closer to 3
point c: in the middle of 3 and 4
point d: directly on #5

what is the correct option?

Answer 1

The correct option is point b: in between 3 and 4, a lot closer to 3.

Answer 2

why is that?

Answer 3

Point b: in between 3 and 4, a lot closer to 3, best represents √13 because the square root of 13 falls between the whole numbers 3 and 4 on the number line. Additionally, since √9 is equal to 3 (which is closer to √13), it makes sense that √13 would be slightly greater than 3 and closer to 3 on the number line.
