use your computores calculator.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

ok well your best bet is to take all the options and square them and see which one comes nearest to 113

OpenStudy (welshfella):

10.62 * 10.62 = / etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be c then?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

its a bit tedious - long multiplication

OpenStudy (welshfella):

don't guess

theres a calculator on your computer probably

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10.63

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ik fir i have to go to the tenths then to the hundredths but i just don't understand, i take flvs, and they don't teach you they just say do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@welshfella

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an you explain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because 10.63* 10.63 is closed to 113 it comes out to 112.9969

OpenStudy (welshfella):

@mister_splinter - if you keep on giving answers you'll get suspended

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*can* sorry typo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont want just the answer i just want this to be explained.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

i'll leave it to mister_splinter

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Leave master splinter alone he did not just give the answer, if he wants to do by all meens he can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply them together so 10.63 then you would multiply it by its self and which ever comes the closet to 113 is your answer just round it.

OpenStudy (welshfella):
