Answer:

6.6

Explanation:

√(43)= 6.5574385243

So your tenth is the coefficient (number) on the right side of the decimal which in this case would be 5 so when rounding you look at the hundredths place which is 2 spaces away from the decimal going right so in this case would be 5 as well, if the number you're rounding to is 5 or above (5-9) then you change then number in front of it by adding 1.

For example: 0.4815 if were rounding the tenths place we look at the 8 (hundredths place) and since 8 is over 5 we make the 4 (tenths place) into a 5 giving us the answer .5

so for your problem the answer would be 6.6
