Question

What is the square root of √301 rounded to the nearest tenth?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The largest square less than 301 is 17^2=289. We can then try the tenths places of 17

First, let's try 17.5. 17.5^2=306.25, which is too big.

Then, we can try 17.4. 17.4^2=302.76, which is still too big.

Then, we try 17.3. 17.3^2=299.29, which is smaller than 301.

Therefore, the square root of sqrt 301 to the nearest tenth is 17.3
