Answer:
- The square root of a positive number greater than 1 is less than the number.
- The square root of a positive number less than 1 is between 0 and 1.
Explanation:
The square root of a positive number is greater than the number when it is less than 1, and less than the number when it is greater than 1. Consider, for example, ...
√9 = 3 . . . . 3 is less than 9, and a whole number
√0.09 = 0.3 . . . . 0.3 is greater than 0.09 (and more than 0.09/2)
So, the correct statements about square roots are ...
The square root of a positive number greater than 1 is less than the number.
The square root of a positive number less than 1 is between 0 and 1.
