Step-by-step explanation:
________________________________________________________
The question asks:
________________________________________________________
"In which section of the number line is √55?"
________________________________________________________
We know that: 7² = 49 ; 8² = 64 .

So, 7 < √55 < 8 ; So, √55 will be in between 7 and 8.

So, √49 < √55 < √64 .

55 - 49 = 6 .

64 - 55 = 9 .

So, there is greater difference between the radicands in

√64 and √55 ; compared to the difference in radicands between

√49 and √55 .

This tells us that the correct answer is:
________________________________________________
[A] { in the figure shown: "7.0 - 7.5" } ;
________________________________________________
rather than: [B]: { "7.5 - 8.0" } .
