Answer: 1.7 and repeating

Explanation:

Remember that the square root is 1 number squared to make another number (2 times 2 is 4, 7 times 7 is 49, and so on.) So if you were to find the square root of 3, you have to figure out which 2 principle ( perfect square, ex- 4, 49, and so on) numbers it's closest to, in this case, 3 is closest to 2 and 4. The square root of 2 is 1, and the square root of 4 is 2, so this number is between 1 and 2. Then calculate it and you should get 1.7 (if you were to draw a number line, decide that the distance between 2 and 3 is 1, and figure out how much distance is between 2 and 4 is which is 2, and divide to equal .7 and repeating. Very long explanation but there you go!
