Which statement is true about the square root of 28.

Question

A.It is between 5,and 6 probably closer to 5
B.it is between 6,and 7 probably closer to 6.
C.it is between 4,and 5 probably closer to 5
D.it is beteen 5,and 6 probably closer to 6

Answer 1

To determine the approximate value of the square root of 28, we can calculate it:

• The square root of 25 is 5 (since \(5^2 = 25\)).
• The square root of 36 is 6 (since \(6^2 = 36\)).

Since 28 is between 25 and 36, \(\sqrt{28}\) is between 5 and 6.

Next, to find where it is likely closer, we can estimate:

• Since \(28\) is closer to \(25\) than to \(36\), you can infer that \(\sqrt{28}\) will be closer to 5 than to 6.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

A. It is between 5 and 6 probably closer to 5.
