A student is attempting to calculate the square root of 27. Her work is shown below. Which statement below best applies to her mathematical reasoning?
I observe that 27 is not a perfect square. I notice the perfect squares closest to 27 are 25 and 36, so I estimate the answer to be somewhere between 25 and 36. Since 27 is closer to 25 than 36, I estimate 27=5.2
