Question

What integers are closest to the square root of 54 on the number line?

Answer 1

sqrt(54) is between 7 and 8

Explanation:

Lets look at integers that are squared

1^2 = 1

2^2 = 2

3^2 = 9

4^2 = 16

5^2= 25

6^2 = 36

7^2 = 49

6^2 =64

54- 49 = 5 and 64 - 54 = 10

So 54 is closer to 49

so sqrt(54) is closer to the sqrt(49) = 7

sqrt(54) is between 7 and 8
