Question

C^2=54 solve the equation,first estimate using square closet to 54 then use a calculator

Answer 1

Estimated between 7 and 8. Calculator 7.348

Explanation:

So you would solve this equation like any regular equation with a variable and a number, by starting with getting the variable by itself. In order to get any variable by itself, you must perform the opposite of what is currently happening, however, it must be done on both sides of the equal sign.

In this case we are squaring the variable c, the opposite of finding the square would be finding the square root. So:

`√(C)`=
`√(54)`

Well if you were to estimate to the closet square,
`7^(2)` is 49 and
`8^(2)` is 64 so the estimate would be between 7 and 8, to find the exact square root you plug it into the calculator which would be 7.348
