how do i enplane this Describe how you would estimate the square root of a number that is not a perfect square without using a calculator.

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

ok ill help u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You would use two perfect squares around it to help estimate.

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

lets say you have the square root of 20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ryan123345, guess you can handle it.

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

i would go to the next perfect square which would be the square root of 25 which is 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the previous one is the sqrt of 16 which is 4.

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So which is 20 closer to? 25 or 16?

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

it doesnt matter :/ its easier to say the square root of 25 is 5 than the square root of 16 is 4

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

ok so since u know that the square root of 25 would be between 4 and 5 you can take and estimate and i would say 4.5

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

do you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooooo ya thank all alot
