Question

Estimate the value of the given number to the nearest whole number: $\sqrt{250}$

Answer 1

Consider given the given whole number $\sqrt{250}$,

Now,

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{250}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{5\times 5\times 10}$

$\Rightarrow \sqrt{5^2\times 10}$

$\Rightarrow 5\sqrt{10}$

Put $\sqrt{10}=3.162,$ we get

$\Rightarrow 5\times 3.162$

$\Rightarrow 15.810$

Hence, this is the answer.
