Question

Which point best approximates the square root of 3?

Answer 1

Point B

Explanation:

The square root of 1 is one, so it must be larger than 1.

The square root of 2 is 4 so it must be smaller than 2.

B would make the most sense

Answer 2

It's B.

If
`0<x<1`, then it's also the case that
`0<x^2<1`, because multiplying any number
`x` by a number (in this case, also
`x`) between 0 and 1 scales that number down.

It's not C, because
`2^2=4\\eq3`.

It's not D, because
`3^2=9\\eq3`.
