Question

What is square root 34 approximated to three decimal places?

Answer 1

Are you allowed a calculator?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

but not sure how to do it

Answer 4

okay what is the nearest thing you can square?

Answer 5

I would say 6^2 = 36 and now we know that it must be lower then 6 and we know 5^2=25 so it must be in between 5 and 6. Now you just narrow down your answer, or you could use the square root function on your calculator.

Answer 6

Thanks

Answer 7

Answer 8

Type in 34 on your calculator, and click \(\boxed{\sqrt{\ \ }}\) or \(\boxed{\text{sqrt}}\).
