The √40 is between
and .

Answer 1

To find the two whole numbers between which \( \sqrt{40} \) lies, we can evaluate the perfect squares that are closest to 40.

1. First, calculate the squares of whole numbers:

   • \( 6^2 = 36 \)
   • \( 7^2 = 49 \)

2. Since \( 36 < 40 < 49 \), it follows that:

   • \( 6 < \sqrt{40} < 7 \)

Thus, \( \sqrt{40} \) is between 6 and 7.

So, the answer is:
The \( \sqrt{40} \) is between 6 and 7.
