Using a calculator is easiest way. Making use of table of square roots maybe another way.
More laborous way,
2%2A2=4
3%2A3=9
What to square to get 6?

2.1^2=4.41
2.2^2=4.84
2.3^2=5.29
2.4^2=5.76
2.5^2=6.25
Square root of 6 is something between 2.4 and 2.5.

2.42^2=5.8564
2.44^2=5.9536
2.46^2=6.0516
Square root of 6 is between 2.44 and 2.46.

2.45^2=6.0025
Is this close enough or do you want to find something closer?
Would 2.4495 work for you?

3%2Asqrt%286%29=3%2A2.4495=highlight%287.35%29, to the nearest hundredth
