Answer 1

To find the value of \(-\sqrt{5}\) and round it to the nearest hundredth, we can first calculate \(\sqrt{5}\).

The square root of 5 is approximately \(2.236\). Therefore,

\[ -\sqrt{5} \approx -2.236 \]

Now, rounding \(-2.236\) to the nearest hundredth gives us \(-2.24\).

So, the value of \(-\sqrt{5}\) rounded to the nearest hundredth is:

\(-2.24\)
