Which of the following statements is true about the square root of 139?

  A. The square root of 139 has a value of 19,321.

  B. The square root of 139 has a value of 69.5.

  C. The square root of 139 has a value between 10 and 11.

  D. The square root of 139 has a value between 11 and 12.

Solution

Let's go through each question and determine the correct answers.


1. The side length of a square is equal to?

For a square, if the area is AA and the side length is ss, then the area AA is given by A=s2A = s^2. Solving for ss, we find s=As = \sqrt{A}.

Correct answer: B. the square root of its area


2. Which of the following statements is true?

  • A. The square root of an integer will not always be an integer (e.g., 2\sqrt{2} is not an integer).
  • B. The square of an integer will always be an integer (e.g., 22=42^2 = 4, which is an integer).

Correct answer: B. The square of an integer will always be an integer


3. Which of the following numbers has a square root of 9?

The number whose square root is 9 must be 92=819^2 = 81.

Correct answer: D. 81


4. Which of the following numbers is a perfect square?

A perfect square is an integer that can be expressed as the square of another integer:

  • 16 is 424^2, so it is a perfect square.

Correct answer: C. 16


5. Which of the following statements is true about the square root of 139?

To estimate, note that:

  • 112=12111^2 = 121 and 122=14412^2 = 144.
  • Thus, 139\sqrt{139} lies between 11 and 12.

Correct answer: D. The square root of 139 has a value between 11 and 12
