Answer 1

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).
