Answer 2

To determine which pair of square roots has a difference of about 0.5, we can calculate the approximate values of each square root:

1. **√11** ≈ 3.32
2. **√14** ≈ 3.74
3. **√19** ≈ 4.36
4. **√24** ≈ 4.90

Now, let's calculate the differences:

- **√11 and √19**:
- Difference = 4.36 - 3.32 ≈ 1.04 (not about 0.5)

- **√14 and √19**:
- Difference = 4.36 - 3.74 ≈ 0.62 (not quite 0.5 but closest)

- **√11 and √14**:
- Difference = 3.74 - 3.32 ≈ 0.42 (also close to 0.5)

- **√19 and √24**:
- Difference = 4.90 - 4.36 ≈ 0.54 (close to 0.5)

From these calculations, the pairs that have a difference close to 0.5 are:

- **√14 and √19** (≈ 0.62)
- **√11 and √14** (≈ 0.42)
- **√19 and √24** (≈ 0.54)

However, if we are to choose the most appropriate response based on common approximate values around 0.5, **√19 and √24** is probably the best option.

Thus, the answer would be:

**19−−√ and 24−−√ (square root of 19 and square root of 24)**.

Answer 3

Let's re-evaluate the candidates carefully to ensure clarity and accuracy regarding which pairs of square roots have a difference close to 0.5.

1. **Calculating square roots more accurately:**
- **√11** ≈ 3.3166
- **√14** ≈ 3.7417
- **√19** ≈ 4.3589
- **√24** ≈ 4.8989

2. **Calculating differences:**
- **Difference between √11 and √14:**
- |3.7417 - 3.3166| ≈ 0.4251 (approximately 0.42)
- **Difference between √14 and √19:**
- |4.3589 - 3.7417| ≈ 0.6172 (approximately 0.62)
- **Difference between √19 and √24:**
- |4.8989 - 4.3589| ≈ 0.5400 (approximately 0.54)
- **Difference between √11 and √19:**
- |4.3589 - 3.3166| ≈ 1.0423 (approximately 1.04)

3. **Reviewing conclusions:**
- The pairs that have differences that are closest to 0.5:
- **√11 and √14**: ≈ 0.42
- **√14 and √19**: ≈ 0.62
- **√19 and √24**: ≈ 0.54

Among these, **√14 and √19** with a difference of approximately 0.62 is the closest.

So, the answer summarizing the closest pair having a difference of about 0.5 is indeed:

**√14 and √19 (square root of 14 and square root of 19).**
