1. What would be the square root of 901.23?

a) 30
b) 30.02
c) 30.5
d) 31
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: We can observe that the number 901.23 is very close to the square of number 30 which
is 900. Here we can estimate that the square root of 901.23 is very close to 900 and hence its square
root would be closer to the square root of 900 i.e. 30. Therefore we can conclude that the answer
would be 30.02.

2. Estimate the square root of 15.

a) 3.98
b) 4.58
c) 5.63
d) 6.67
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: When we need to estimate a square root we can find the perfect square numbers. So
the perfect squares near the number 15 are 9 & 16. Since the number is close to 16 the square root
would be above 0.5. Therefore the correct answer would be 3.98 and the others would be incorrect.

3. _____ is the estimated square root of 123.

a) 11.03
b) 11.59
c) 11.99
d) 11.51
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: When we need to estimate a square root we can find the perfect square numbers. So
the perfect squares near the number 123 are 121 & 144. Since the number is close to 121 the square
root would be below 0.5. Therefore the correct answer would be 11.03 and the others would be
incorrect.
