Determine the range in which the square root of 2 lies.
\[ \sqrt{2} \text{ is between 1.4 and 1.5.} \]
Answer (2)
\sqrt2"> 1.4 < 2 < 1.5 − TR U E , b ec a u se 1.4 = 1. 4 2 = 1.96 < 2 1.5 = 1. 5 2 = 2.25 > 2
2 lies between 1.4 and 1.5 because 1. 4 2 < 2 < 1. 5 2 . Therefore, we can state that 1.4 < 2 < 1.5 .
