Question

Using the ratio of perfect squares method , what is √14 rounded to the nearest hundredth?

Will FAN and MEDAL!

Answer 1

I don't think I've ever heard of this method

Answer 2

I can help you solve it, but I am not sure if I will be doing it by this method

Answer 3

umm can you tell us what the perfect square method is?

Answer 4

A number made by squaring a whole number.

16 is a perfect square because 42 = 16

25 is also a perfect square because 52 = 25
etc

Answer 5

Is it when you find like the closest perfect squares to the non-perfect square you are working with

Answer 6

Like say we have to do the same thing, but with \(\sqrt{23}\)

The closest perfect squares to that is \(\sqrt{16}\) and \(\sqrt{25}\)

So

\(\sqrt{16}\) < \(\sqrt{23}\) < \(\sqrt{25}\)

Now you simplify the two perfect squares.

4 < \(\sqrt{23}\) < 5

Answer 7

I am just going to try to put in the square root of 14 and round it to the nearest hundreth which would be 3.74
