Question

Estimate square root of 62 using perfect squares. Between which two whole numbers is square root of 62 ​located?

Answer 1

$\sqrt{62}$ is obviously not a whole number. This value exists between two whole numbers.

$\sqrt{64}$ & $\sqrt{49}$

These numbers are 8 and 7 respectively. This is found by using $7^2$ & $8^2$ which equals 49 and 64.

So between 7 and 8 is where the square root of 62 should exist.

The square root of 62 by the way is 7.87 rounded.
