Question

Pls help, i tried doing it myself but I don’t get it !!!Which option on the number line below best represents the
location of the following number?

Answer 1

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of 8 is 2.828427....

But if you don't have a calculator, just think of the "perfect square" closest to that. The square root of 9 is 3, so you know the square root of 8 is close to that, but a little less.

A few "perfect squares":

2 x 2 = 4

3 x 3 = 9

4 x 4 = 16

5 x 5 = 25
