To determine which statement is true about the square root of 28, we'll evaluate its value:
- We know that:
- \(5^2 = 25\)
- \(6^2 = 36\)
Since \(25 < 28 < 36\), we can conclude that:
\[
5 < \sqrt{28} < 6
\]
Now, let's analyze how close \( \sqrt{28} \) is to these integers:
- The square root of 28 can be approximated as follows: since \(28\) is closer to \(25\) than to \(36\), we can estimate:
\[
\sqrt{28} \approx 5.29
\]
Thus, it is indeed between \(5\) and \(6\), and since \(5.29\) is closer to \(5\) than to \(6\), the true statement about the square root of 28 is:
It is between 5 and 6, probably closer to 5.
