Math Problem Statement
Solution
To determine which point on the number line shows the position of , let's first approximate the value of .
-
Calculate :
-
Analyze the points on the number line:
- The points represent approximate integer and decimal positions:
- Point A is near 2.
- Point B is near 2.5.
- Point C is near 3.
- Point D is near 3.5.
- The points represent approximate integer and decimal positions:
-
Compare the position of on the number line:
- Since is slightly above 3 and closer to 3.5, it aligns closely with Point D.
Thus, the correct answer is Point D.

Here are five follow-up questions you might find helpful:
- What is the square root of other numbers close to 11?
- How do square roots of non-perfect squares approximate on a number line?
- Why is closer to 3.3 rather than 3.5?
- How can we estimate square roots without a calculator?
- What methods help to place irrational numbers on a number line accurately?
Tip: When estimating square roots, use the closest perfect squares as reference points to narrow down the approximate value quickly.
