Using rational approximations, what statement is true? √48>√36, √49>7, √49<7, √48<√36

1 answer

The statement "√49 > 7" is true. To check this, we can calculate the square root of both sides:

√49 = 7

Since 7 is equal to 7, the statement is true.

The statements "√48 > √36" and "√48 < √36" are both false. Calculating the square root of both sides:

√48 ≈ 6.928
√36 = 6

So, 6.928 is not greater than 6 and it is also not less than 6. Therefore, both statements are false.
