PLEASE HELP​

Answer 1

C. 6 cm and 7 cm

Explanation:

(4 cm)² = 16 cm²

(5 cm)² = 25 cm²

(6 cm)² = 36 cm²

(7 cm)² = 49 cm²

(8 cm)² = 64 cm²

Out of these values, 46.3 cm² is between 36 cm² and 49 cm², so it is safe to say that the side length is between 6 cm and 7 cm, as this side length's square is between the square of 6 cm and 7 cm.
