To find where \( \sqrt{10} \) (the square root of 10) lies on a number line and to the nearest half, first calculate the value of \( \sqrt{10} \).
- \( \sqrt{10} \) is approximately 3.162.
Next, to determine the whole number it is between:
- The whole numbers surrounding \( \sqrt{10} \) are 3 and 4, since \( 3^2 = 9 \) and \( 4^2 = 16 \).
Now, to find it to the nearest half, consider the values:
- The nearest halves around 3.162 are 3 and 3.5.
Thus, \( \sqrt{10} \) is between 3 and 3.5.
So the final answer would be: \( \sqrt{10} \) is between 3 and 3.5.
