To find the square root of 28, we can approximate it by looking at the perfect squares around it:
- \(4^2 = 16\)
- \(5^2 = 25\)
- \(6^2 = 36\)
Since \(28\) is between \(25\) and \(36\), we know that the square root of \(28\) is between \(5\) and \(6\).
Calculating the exact square root gives us \( \sqrt{28} \approx 5.29\), which is closer to \(5\) than \(6\).
Therefore, the correct statement is:
It is between 5 and 6, probably closer to 5.
