To compare and approximate the values of √16 and √4:

Answer 1

To compare and approximate the values of \(\sqrt{16}\) and \(\sqrt{4}\):

1. Calculate \(\sqrt{16}\): \[ \sqrt{16} = 4 \]

2. Calculate \(\sqrt{4}\): \[ \sqrt{4} = 2 \]

3. Now, compare the two values:

   • \(\sqrt{16} = 4\)
   • \(\sqrt{4} = 2\)

Thus, \(\sqrt{16} > \sqrt{4}\), and more specifically, \(4\) is greater than \(2\).

In summary: \[ \sqrt{16} = 4 \quad \text{and} \quad \sqrt{4} = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 4 > 2 \]
