Let’s re-evaluate the calculations for the square root of 78, with a focus on identifying the correct range to two decimal places.
From previous calculations, we have:
- \(8.8^2 = 77.44\)
- \(8.9^2 = 79.21\)
Next, we need to find more precise values between \(8.8\) and \(8.9\) by examining values such as \(8.85\) and \(8.86\):
-
Calculate \(8.85^2\):
\[
8.85^2 = 78.2225
\]
-
Calculate \(8.86^2\):
\[
8.86^2 = 78.2596
\]
-
Calculate \(8.84^2\):
\[
8.84^2 = 78.1856
\]
Since we know:
- \(8.84^2 = 78.1856 < 78 < 8.85^2 = 78.2225\)
Now, let’s further refine our search with values like \(8.83\):
- Calculate \(8.83^2\):
\[
8.83^2 = 78.1289
\]
Running through the calculations again:
- \(8.83^2 = 78.1289 < 78\)
- \(8.84^2 = 78.1856 > 78\)
To find a narrower range, let’s check \(8.81\) and \(8.82\):
-
Calculate \(8.81^2\):
\[
8.81^2 = 77.6161
\]
-
Calculate \(8.82^2\):
\[
8.82^2 = 77.8724
\]
Now we see:
- \(8.81^2 = 77.6161 < 78\)
- \(8.82^2 = 77.8724 < 78\) (not helpful)
So now, let’s focus back on our calculations. Here’s a final review up to \(8.87\) and \(8.88\):
-
Calculate \(8.87^2\):
\[
8.87^2 = 78.4969
\]
-
Calculate \(8.88^2\):
\[
8.88^2 = 78.6544
\]
Final findings:
- From all these, we see:
- \(8.84^2 = 78.1856 < 78 < 8.85^2 = 78.2225\)
- So, our range, where \(78\) lies with precision to two decimal places, is between 8.83 and 8.84.
To summarize:
To two decimal places, \(78\) must lie between 8.83 and 8.84.
Thank you for your patience, and I hope this answer aligns with your expectations!
