Since √3 is not equal to 1.70 but a little more than that (approximately 1.7302) then √3 would be better located between 1.7 and 1.8

1) Considering the number line and the irrational number √3

2) Since √3 is an irrational number, let's find an approximation to that:

$\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{3}=1.732050808 \\ \sqrt[]{3}\approx1.732 \end{gathered}$

So Let's place it considering that √3 is not exactly 1.7, but someplace between 1.7 and 1.8

3) Since √3 is not equal to 1.70 but a little more than that (approximately 1.732) then √3 would be better located between 1.7 and 1.8
