Answer 1

See below

Explanation:

Which is the closest to 6

`√(34)`

`\sqrt{39\\`

`\sqrt{35`

or
`√(38)`

So, find the square root of each ( I suggest using a calculator)

`√(34) = 5.83\\√(39) = 6.24\\√(35) = 5.91 \\√(38) = 6.16`

Which is closest? Let's see.

6 - 5.83 = 0.17

6.24 - 6 = 0.24

6 - 5.91 = 0.09

6.16 - 6 = 0.16

Find the smallest #

0.09 is the smallest, so 5.91 is the closest. Square the #, we get
`√(35)`

Hope this helps! =D
