Answer 1

i'm on the same test-

Answer 2

Answer: D. between 4.79 and 4.8

Explanation:

The square root of 23 (√23) is 4.79583152331. We can obviously eliminate A and B. C and D is left. C is wrong because if we approximate the square root of 23, which is 4.79583152331, we get 4.79. 4.79 > 4.78, so it can't be C. Hope this helps :)
