Which two numbers does [tex]\sqrt{52}[/tex] lie between on a number line?

A. 7.0 and 7.1
B. 7.1 and 7.2
C. 7.2 and 7.3
D. 7.3 and 7.4



Answer :

To determine between which two numbers [tex]\(\sqrt{52}\)[/tex] lies, we first need to calculate the square root of 52.

The value of [tex]\(\sqrt{52}\)[/tex] is approximately 7.2111.

Now, let's compare this calculated value with the given intervals:

1. 7.0 and 7.1: The value 7.2111 does not fall within this interval.
2. 7.1 and 7.2: The value 7.2111 does not fall within this interval either.
3. 7.2 and 7.3: The value 7.2111 does fall within this interval.
4. 7.3 and 7.4: The value 7.2111 does not fall within this interval.

Therefore, [tex]\(\sqrt{52}\)[/tex] lies between 7.2 and 7.3 on the number line.
