Solution
We find the square root of 3.11 up to 3 decimal places. Thus the square root of √3.11 to 3 decimal places is 1.763. We observe (1.763)2=3.108169<3.11<3.111696=(1.764)2 Thus, 1.763 is the approximation from below of 3.11 to 3 decimal places; and 1.764 is the approximation from above of 3.11 to 3 decimal places.
