The length of the hypotenuse of right triangle is √2 m. To find the approximate value of the new number √2, we need to select the numbers and square them and check if its equal to 2. Which of the following is the range of numbers we can select?
1< hypotenuse < 2
Since, the length of hypotenuse is √2. We should select two numbers such that 2 is included in the range of their squares.
12 =122=4
Since 2 lies in the range of 1 to 4. Hence the numbers will be within the range of 1 and 2
