Answer:
2.24
Explanation:
5 is not a perfect square and therefore its square root is not an integer.
it is a decimal which can partly be presented as 2.236068. the digits after the decimal point occupy the following decimal spaces
2-tenths
3-hundredths
6-thousandths.
If the digit in the thousandths position is 5 or greater then we add one to the digit in the hundredths position to get the nearest hundredth while if it is less than 5 we truncate at the hundredth position and retain the digit at this position as the nearest hundredth.
in this question, the digit in the thousandth position is 6 thus we add 1 to the digit in the hundredth position that is,3 to get 4
therefore the square root of 5 to the nearest hundredth is 2.24
