To determine the value of √5 and place a dot on the number line at the best approximation, let's follow these steps:
1. Determine the value of √5:
The square root of 5 is approximately 2.236.
2. Identify the closest integer to this value:
The closest integer to 2.236 is 2.
3. Place a dot on the number line:
On the given number line, we place the dot at the integer 2.
So, √5 is approximately 2.236, and we place a dot at the position of 2 on the number line for the best approximation.
