Point L: √20
is this correct? explain it
Yes, the correct approximation of the irrational number for Point L is indeed √20.

To understand why, let's look at the given options and compare them with the information provided for Point L:

- π is approximately 3.14159, which is significantly larger than 10. Since Point L is described as being closer to 10, it cannot be π.

- 1.3242526 is a specific decimal approximation, and there is no indication in the prompt that Point L corresponds to this precise value. Additionally, it is far smaller than 10, so it does not match the given description.

- √20 is the square root of 20, which is approximately 4.47214. This number is larger than 10, so it does not match the description of being closer to 10. Therefore, √20 is not the correct approximation for Point L.

- 3√1100 is the cube root of 1100, which is approximately 10.852. This number is larger than both 10 and 11, so it also does not match the given description.

Given the options, the closest approximation to 10 for Point L is √20. Although it is slightly larger than 10, it fits the criteria of being closer to 10 than 11.
what about point E

perfectly inbetween 4 and 5

same answer choices, answer correctly
Point E: 3.14159 (the approximation of π)
that is not correct
Apologies for the incorrect response.

For Point E, which is perfectly in-between 4 and 5, the correct approximation of the irrational number is 1.3242526. This approximation fits the description of being between 4 and 5, and it is the closest choice from the given options.
point C: inbetween 3 and 4, very much closer to 3, same answer choices
Point C: √20
is that correct?
Apologies for the incorrect response.

For Point C, which is in-between 3 and 4 and closer to 3, the correct approximation of the irrational number is 3√1100. This approximation fits the description of being between 3 and 4 and closer to 3, and it is the closest choice from the given options.
