ESTIMATE THE
7

SQUARE ROOT OF A
WHOLE NUMBER TO
THE NAREST
HUNDREDTHS
 SQUARE ROOT
- a factor of a number that, when multiplied by itself, gives
the original number.

FOR EXAMPLE
- 4×4=
16, so a square root of 16 is 4.
- 3x 3=
9 , so a squre root of 9 is 3
PERFECT SQUARE ROOT

Progress:
Give the square root of the following:

√25 =5

√49 =7
ESTIMATE THE SQUARE ROOT OF A WHOLE NUMBER TO THE NAREST
HUNDREDTHS

Step 1:
Find the perfect squares (less than and greater
than)which are closest to the given number

Step 2:
Find the value of the decimal

Step 3:
Find the estimated value

Progress:
ESTIMATE THE SQUARE ROOT OF A WHOLE
NUMBER TO THE NAREST HUNDREDTHS

Formula:
Estimate each square root to the nearest hundredths

Example:

1. 23 2.
4.

Progress:
Estimate each square root to the nearest
hundredths

Step 1: Find the perfect squares (less Step 2 : Find the value of the
than and greater than) which are decimal
closest to the given number
= = 0.777
√16 < <

√16 = 4 =5

Step 3: Find the estimated value

• Combine the whole number and decimal
4 + 0.777 = 4. 777 or 4.78
