Question 431656
I am assuming they mean the positive square root
{{{5*5 = 25}}} and
{{{6*6 = 36}}}
Since {{{26}}} is between {{{25}}} and {{{36}}}, then
{{{sqrt(26)}}} is between {{{5}}} and {{{6}}}
Without using my calculator, I know that {{{sqrt(26)}}}
is slightly more than {{{5}}}
{{{5.1*5.1 = 26.01}}}
That's OK to the nearest tenth
You wrote it correctly- sqrt(26)
