Since square root of, end square root 2 2
equals= and square root of, end square root 2 2
equals= it is known that square root of, 37, end square root 37 is between and .
Solution
To determine between which two consecutive whole numbers lies, let's consider the following:
- The square root of is ().
- The square root of is ().
Thus, must lie between and , because is greater than and less than .
Approximation:
We know (since ). Therefore, is slightly greater than but not close to .
Sentence Completion:
Since and , it is known that is between and .
