Answer:

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
