To find the approximate location of \(\sqrt{58}\) on a number line, we first need to calculate its decimal value.
Calculating \(\sqrt{58}\):
\[
\sqrt{58} \approx 7.6158
\]
Now we can determine where this value falls on the number line relative to the given intervals.
1. **Between 7 and 7.5:** The decimal 7.6158 is greater than 7 but less than 7.5.
2. **Between 7.5 and 8:** The decimal 7.6158 is less than 8 and greater than 7.5.
3. **Between 8 and 8.5:** The decimal 7.6158 is less than 8.
4. **Between 8.5 and 9:** The decimal 7.6158 is less than 8.5 and 9.
Thus, \(\sqrt{58} \approx 7.6158\) lies between **7.5 and 8** on the number line.
