Question

It has been demonstrated that the square root of 78 is between 8.83 and 8.84. If we were to continue this process, it would ______ because the square root of 78 is an irrational number

Answer 1

If we were to continue this process, it would converge to a more precise approximation of the square root of 78 because the square root of 78 is an irrational number. This means that while it cannot be expressed as an exact fraction or decimal, we can get closer and closer to its true value through successive approximations.
