got any in mind?    say give us a value that is NOT a perfect square, let's see how it looks when simplified

anonymous · Answer

Figure out the perfect square that is bigger than your number and the perfect square that is smaller than your number.
For example...I want the square root of 93
I know that is betwee 81 (9 squared) and 100 (10 squares)
So the answer is 9.something.

Just say 9.5....You're just estimating so pick the middle

hhehe, lemme give you say one

can you ESTIMATE the square root of say 7 ?  $\large \bf \sqrt{7}=\square ?$

what do you think it MIGHT BE?    can it be 5? what about 1? or 3?   can it be 6?
