Question

20. Jada plotted V3 on the number line as shown. How could you convince Jada that thislocation could not possibly represent V3? (2 pts.)V311.11.21.31.41.51.61.71.81.92.

Answer 1

Since √3 is not equal to 1.70 but a little more than that (approximately 1.7302) then √3 would be better located between 1.7 and 1.8

1) Considering the number line and the irrational number √3

2) Since √3 is an irrational number, let's find an approximation to that:

`\begin{gathered} \sqrt[]{3}=1.732050808 \\ \sqrt[]{3}\approx1.732 \end{gathered}`

So Let's place it considering that √3 is not exactly 1.7, but someplace between 1.7 and 1.8

3) Since √3 is not equal to 1.70 but a little more than that (approximately 1.732) then √3 would be better located between 1.7 and 1.8
