Estimate the value of (6.21^2) / 3.74.

Solution

Let's estimate the value of the expression given:

6.2123.74\frac{6.21^2}{3.74}

To simplify this, we round the numbers for an easier approximation.

  1. Round 6.21 to 6.
  2. Round 3.74 to 4.

So, we now estimate:

624=364=9\frac{6^2}{4} = \frac{36}{4} = 9

Thus, the estimated value of the expression is 9.
