To approximate \( \sqrt{48} \) to the tenth place, we can first simplify it:
\[ \sqrt{48} = \sqrt{16 \times 3} = \sqrt{16} \times \sqrt{3} = 4\sqrt{3} \]
Next, we calculate \( \sqrt{3} \), which is approximately 1.732. Therefore,
\[ \sqrt{48} \approx 4 \times 1.732 = 6.928 \]
Now, rounding 6.928 to the tenth place gives us:
\[ \sqrt{48} \approx 6.9 \quad \text{(to the tenth place)} \]
For more precision, if we compute \( \sqrt{48} \) directly or use a calculator, we find:
\[ \sqrt{48} \approx 6.928203230275509 \]
Thus, rounded to the tenth place, the value is still:
\[ \sqrt{48} \approx 6.9 \]
