Question

What is the solution to √8 to the nearest integer?

Answer 1

`√(8)` to the nearest integer = 3

Explanation:

If we calculate the square root of 8, we find a value of 2.828.

Because, we are including integers, then we can conclude that the two integers in play for the square root of 8 ( √8 ) are 2<2.828<3, hence 2 and 3. (2 is less than 2.828, and 2.828 is less than 3.

Now we play with both integers:

Integer ( 2 )= 2*2=4 4=22

Integer (3) = 3*3=9 9=32

Conclusion; 22=4<8<9=32

Answer 2

3

Explanation:

Hence the (positive) square root of 8 is somewhere between 2 and 3 . Since 8 is much closer to 9=32 than 4=22 , we can deduce that the closest integer to the square root is 3 .

Hope it helps :))
