What 2 integers does the square root of 3 lie between?
2 Answers
1 and 2
Explanation:
The sqrt of 2 is equal to approximately 1.4. The sqrt of 4 is equal to 2. As we know the sqrt of 3 lies somewhere between these two sqrts, we know that i must also lie between the integers 1 and 2.
The square root of 3 lies between 1 and 2.
Explanation:
Squaring something is the inverse of taking the square root, so if we start by squaring some numbers, we want it to come out close to 3. The integers squared that are above and below 3 will be the 2 integers that the square root of 3 lies between.
