the best answer is 5 and 6 because if you find the number that has a square root and is closest to your number (26) you know that it is 25 (root=5) & the next one up is 36 (root=6). 26 lies between these.

Using the ratio of perfect squares method, what is square root of 68 rounded to the nearest hundredth?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm what's the \(\bf \sqrt{26}?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm...... i think its 4624 but rounded i think its 4600. idk on this one?????

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so... what's \(\bf \sqrt{26}?\) hint: use calculator

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

There is no need to use a calculator for an approximation question. Hehe.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im confused does anybody now how to do this question

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

But yes, that is another way to solve these. You have a number and you want to know what numbers bracket the roots. Two ways to do so: Like jdoe said, ise a calculator, get the root, see what it is between. Like Chromium said, square the values given as possible answers, see which ones bracket the number you want the root of. Both work pretty well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the square root of 68 is 4624

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@e.mccormick

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Um, that is not the root of 68. A root of a positive number is always smaller.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i plug it in my calculator

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Well, that works...but they akes for the ratio of perfect squares method. Did they give you instructions for that?
