proof that the square root of 3 lies between 1.7 and 1.8
==============================================================
let a square have an area of 3, then what is the area of the square if has a length of 1.7 and if it has length of 1.8
1.7^2 = 2.89
1.8^2 = 3.24
No matter how many numbers we try between 1.7 and 1.8, we will not find a product
of exactly 3, therefore the square root of 3 lies between 1.7 and 1.8
