In other words, what are the whole numbers closest to and bounding sqrt(96)?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "One way is try to find what is very near $\"sqrt%2896%29\"$ . Look at 100, and $\"sqrt%28100%29\"$ . 100 is too big, so also look at 81 and $\"sqrt%2881%29\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%2881%29=9\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%28100%29=10\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( "OBVIOUSLY, $\"sqrt%2896%29\"$ is between $\"sqrt%2881%29\"$ and $\"sqrt%28100%29\"$ . \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"sqrt%2896%29\"$ is between 9 and 10. \n" ); document.write( "
