Esi says that the value of z when z^2 = 80 does not belong in either of these categories since z must be greater than 8.

What whole number would z be closest to?

Answer:

9

Explanation:

if z=8 then z^2 would be 64, which is not equal to 80

iz z=9 then z^2 would be 81, which is closer to 80 than 64

therefore, 9 is the whole number than z would be closest to
