Find the square roots for each number:

\sqrt{121}
\sqrt{78} - Estimate

1 answer

\sqrt{121} = 11

To estimate \sqrt{78}, we can try to find two perfect square numbers between which 78 lies.

The perfect square numbers closest to 78 are 64 (8^2) and 81 (9^2).

Since 78 is closer to 81 than to 64, we can estimate \sqrt{78} to be slightly less than 9.

Therefore, \sqrt{78} ≈ 8.8
