You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you have a Texas Instrument Graphing Calculator following these instructions:
Hit the [2nd]key; hit the [x^2] key; type-in 3/5; hit the [Enter] key.
The answer should be: .77459666
To round to the nearest hundredth, find the digit that is in the hundredth's place and round up or down.
.77459666
.77
.
or another method is:
Type-in (3/5)^(1/2) [Enter]. You should get the same answer.
