Question

Where is √23 located on a number line?

Answer 1

between 4 and 5 on the number line

Explanation:

consider perfect squares on either side of 23 , that is

16 < 23 < 25 , then

`√(16)` <
`√(23)` <
`√(25)` , so

4 <
`√(23)` < 5

then
`√(23)` is located between 4 and 5 on the number line

since 25 is closer to 23 than 16

then the value of
`√(23)` will be closer to 5
