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 37\sqrt{37} lies, let's consider the following:

  1. The square root of 3636 is 66 (62=366^2 = 36).
  2. The square root of 4949 is 77 (72=497^2 = 49).

Thus, 37\sqrt{37} must lie between 66 and 77, because 3737 is greater than 3636 and less than 4949.

Approximation:

We know 376.08\sqrt{37} \approx 6.08 (since 6.082376.08^2 \approx 37). Therefore, 37\sqrt{37} is slightly greater than 66 but not close to 77.

Sentence Completion:

Since 36=6\sqrt{36} = 6 and 49=7\sqrt{49} = 7, it is known that 37\sqrt{37} is between 66 and 77.
