Question

Estimate the value of square root of 1000 to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

We know that 961 < 1000 < 1024
i.e., ${31}^2$ < $1000$ < ${32}^2$
Thus, the square root of 1000 lies between 31 and 32.
Since 1000 is nearer to 1024 than to 961, thus, the value of the square root of 1000 to the nearest whole number is 32.
