Math Problem Statement

Estimate to the nearest integer.

Estimate the square root of 23 to the nearest integer.

Solution

The square root of 23, rounded to the nearest integer, is approximately 55.

Would you like more details on how this estimation works or have any further questions? Here are five related questions to expand your understanding:

  1. What is the exact value of 23\sqrt{23}?
  2. How do you find square roots of non-perfect squares manually?
  3. Why is 25\sqrt{25} exactly 5, while 23\sqrt{23} is only approximately 5?
  4. What is the difference between rounding up and down when estimating square roots?
  5. How can you use a calculator to get a more precise value for square roots?

Tip: Estimating square roots can be made easier by identifying perfect squares around the given number (e.g., 16 and 25 for 23).
