Question 252555: a. between which two consecutive integers is square root of 17?________
b. find the value of square root of 17 to the nearest tenth (use the space below for calculations)._________ Answer by JimboP1977(311) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Assuming we are looking for positive integers.
We know the square root of 16 is 4. We know the square root of 25 is 5. So we know the square root of 17 lays between these two numbers but much nearer to 4 than 5.
Lets try 4.1 squared which equals 16.81. Now try 4.2 squared which equals 17.64.
So 4.1 is the closest to the square root of 17 to the nearest tenth.
