Question

Between which two whole numbers would be place the square root of 40 on the number line

Answer 1

36 is the closest square number to 40, the second one being 49, so the square root of 40 would be between 6 and 7. 6.5² is too big because it makes somewhere around 42, so it would be between 6.3 and 6.4. I hope this helps!
