To determine the range in which the square root of 28 falls, we can check the squares of numbers around it:
- \(5^2 = 25\)
- \(6^2 = 36\)
Since \(25 < 28 < 36\), it follows that \(5 < \sqrt{28} < 6\).
To further narrow it down, we can estimate \(\sqrt{28}\):
Calculating \(\sqrt{28}\):
- The square root of 25 is 5, and the square root of 36 is 6.
- Since \(28\) is closer to \(25\) than to \(36\), \(\sqrt{28}\) will be closer to 5 than to 6.
Therefore, the correct statement is: It is between 5 and 6, probably closer to 5.
