what is the best integer estimate for the square root 21

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

lol... Integer esimate? well sqrt is kinda halfway between 4 and 5.

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

@uri any idea what is a integer estimate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my teacher gave me a worksheet and im trying to do it at home the instructions are find the best integer estimate for each square root then check your estimate with a calculatetor the first number is 21

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

cool what grade is this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im in 11th but im bad at math so this should be pre algebra so like 9th or 10th

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

well think this... 3 times 3 is 9 4 times 4 is 16 5 times 5 is 25 so sqrt 21 would be closest to 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it basicly its a number times the same number that equals the number like 4 times 4 is 16

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

yea

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

and 4 and 5 are closest to 21... 5 is closer so that should be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

since this is estimate their might not be exact numbers so 5 to the second power is closest right?

OpenStudy (kuoministers):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k thxs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i put just 5 or five to the second power

OpenStudy (kuoministers):
