Question

HELP ME I DON'T GET IT!!!!!

Kamille is calculating the length of diagonal on a picture board and gets a solution of the square root of 58. She needs to buy the ribbon to put across the diagonal of the board, so she estimates that she will need at least 60 inches of ribbon to cover the diagonal. Is she correct? Explain.

Answer 1

• Kamille is wrong

Explanation:

Kamille is wrong, because:

• √58 is between √49 and √64

or

• 7 < √58 < 8

She needs about 8 inches ribbon not 60 inches
