Answer 2

Start with 1.
What is 1^2?
What is 2^2?
Keep going with the squares of whole numbers until you find one less and one greater than 24 that are the closest ones to 24.

Answer 3

so D?

Answer 4

Correct.

Answer 5

1^2 = 1
2^2 = 4
3^2 = 9
4^2 = 16
5^2 = 25
Since 24 is between 16 and 25, then \(\sqrt{24}\) is between 4 and 5.
