Answer 1

1

Explanation:

square root of 25 is 5, thus the square root of 24 should be close to 5, and the closest one is 4.90 (4.898979486 in calculator)

Answer 2

Option 1: 4.90

Explanation:

1. Calculation: To find the square root of 24, we can use a calculator or a mathematical method such as long division or the Newton-Raphson method. The result is approximately 4.89897948557, which we can round to two decimal places as 4.90.

2. Option 2: Option 2 (4.58) is not the correct answer because it does not accurately represent the square root of 24. It is lower than the actual value.

3. Options 3 and 4: Options 3 (4.00) and 4 (5.00) are not the correct answers either. The square root of 24 is not a whole number, so it does not equal 4 or 5.
