Question

Identify square root of 3 as either rational or irrational, and approximate to the tenths place.

Answer 1

The square root of 3 is irrational, because 3 is not a perfect square.

For example, 4 is a perfect square, so the square root (2) will be rational.

The square root of 3 is 1.73205080757,

and we can round this to 1.7 for the tenths place
