Question

56. Kelly found that the length of the hypotenuse of a triangle was equal to the square root of 125. The length of the hypotenuse was between which two consecutive integers?

A. 10 and 11
C. 30 and 31
B. 11 and 12
D. 62 and 63

Answer 1

Answer: B: 11 and 12

Explanation:

- An integer is simply a whole number

- So consecutive integers are simply whole numbers that follow each other (ex: 1, 2, 3)

- The square root of 125 (in decimals) is 11.1803398875, meaning it is higher than 11 but less than 12

- So 11.1803398875 falls between 11 and 12, making the answer B

hope this helps :)
