to the nearest whole number the length of the diagonal of a square is 7 in which measure could be the actual length in inches of the diagonal of the square?

Answer 1

To find the possible actual lengths of the diagonal of a square that rounds to 7 inches, we can use the rounding rule. For a value to round to 7, it must be at least 6.5 and less than 7.5.

Therefore, the actual length of the diagonal of the square, \( d \), could be in the range:

\[ 6.5 \leq d < 7.5 \]

So the possible actual lengths of the diagonal of the square in inches are between 6.5 and 7.5.
