Answer 6

10.5*

Answer 7

okay, the Babylonian method for calculating square roots is

pick a guess

take the average of your guess and the number / your guess to get your next guess

repeat as many times as the accuracy needed requires

if you start with 10.5 as your first guess:

next guess is 0.5(10.5 + 115/10.5) = 10.7262

next guess is 0.5(10.7262 + 115/10.7262) = 10.7238

next guess is 0.5(10.7238 + 115/10.7238) = (put your calculator to work!)

notice anything interesting about the last two guesses? what does that tell you?
