In question 1, you compared irrational numbers by plotting them on a number line. In this section, you will compare irrational numbers by finding their rational approximations. (If you need a longer decimal expansion for π, look up the value of π on the Internet.) Write a statement comparing the values of the two given numbers. Also write an inequality comparing the two numbers.

10square root and 12 square root

10square root and 12 square root

Angle · Answer

I am slightly confused on the phrasing of your question

is it asking for your to say whether sqrt(10) or sqrt(12) is bigger or smaller?
or
is it asking for you to estimate which numbers is sqrt(10) between?

should i put a screen shot of an example

Angle · Answer

yeah, that would help :)

ok

heres an example of what to do

Angle · Answer

uhh if you don't have to show work...
which number is bigger, 10 or 12?

Angle · Answer

if that original number is bigger, then the square root of that number will also be bigger than the square root of the other number
