Question #17490

Answer 1

Between 7 and 8.

Explanation:

To determine this we must find the two perfect squares which surround 60. These are 49 and 64 which are the perfect squares of 7 and 8. Since 60 lies between 49 and 64 its square root will lie between 7 and 8.

Answer 2

`7" and " 8`

Explanation:

Consider `color(blue)"perfect squares"` less than 60 and just greater than 60.

These are `color(red)(49)" and " color(red)(64)`

`rArrsqrtcolor(red)(49) < sqrt60 < sqrtcolor(red)(64)`

`rArr7 < sqrt60 <8`
