Question 87421: Good day to all,I need some help with some problems,they only thing is I don't have the square root symbol on my computer,so I will use this for the square root symbol(square root).The first problem is,If x=(square root)0.004,what is the value of x and for that problem I got two answers,the first one was 0.02,and the other was 0.08.And the last problem is,Estimate the value of the square root:(square root symbol)0.85,and for that one I got four different answers,it was 3,2,1,and then 0.Thanks for whoever can help me.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x= %28sqrt%280.004%29%29
x=0.6325
Check by squaring the answer:
(.06325)^2= 0.004
If you square your answers:
(0.02)^2= 0.0004
and
(0.08)^2=0.0064
.
%28sqrt+%280.85%29%29 = 0.92195
.
Checking:
(0.92195)^2=0.84999 [close enough]
The best way is to use a calculator to find the square root of decimals.
