Answer 1

If I wanted to estimate square root 59, the first step would be to find the two **perfect** squares that 59 lies **between** on the number line. The closest perfect square less than 59 is **49**. The closest perfect square greater than 59 is **64**. I could then think about the number 59 and how close it is to the smaller perfect square and the larger perfect square. I could then take the **square** root of the perfect squares to see how I would estimate square root 59. The square root 59 is closest to **8**.
