Algebra 1 Square Root Help

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-08-02] [Hit: ]
I go to a online school with the worst math teaching program ever!Please and thank you.Now you can see that its closer to 13 (173 is closer to 169 than 196).13^2=169 and you want to get 4 numbers higher, so 4/13 = .308.......
Find the decimal √173 to two decimal places using the guess and check method.

Could someone please explain to me how to do this.

I don't understand one thing about that sentence. I'm studying for my finals and I have no clue what to do here. I go to a online school with the worst math teaching program ever! Please and thank you.

Well you know it's between 13 and 14 because

13^2 = 169
14^2 = 196

Now you can see that it's closer to 13 (173 is closer to 169 than 196).

13^2=169 and you want to get 4 numbers higher, so 4/13 = .308...etc, but you want the square root of that which would be just under half. You can assume it would be close to .150 just a little over.

Thus...√173 = 13.15

Make a guess as to the root, manually multiply it, and proceed from there. For example, I know that 13 x 13 = 169, so the sq rt of 173 is a fraction more than 13.

Trying 13.11 x 13.11 = 171.87

Trying 13.15 x 13.15 = 172.92

13x13 = 169
14x14 = 196

Next, try 13.5

etc.
