You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use a calculator to approximate sqrt%2872%29 to the nearest hundredth.
:
You can put this directly into your calculator and get:
sqrt%2872%29=8.485281374
highlight%28sqrt%2872%29=8.49%29
or you can reduce it first if you need to show some work:
sqrt%2836%29%2Asqrt%282%29
6%2Asqrt%282%29
Which will give you the same answer when you put it in your calculator.
Happy Calculating!!!!
