Which statement is true about the square root of 28?
A. It is between 5 and 6, probably closer to 5
B. It is between 4 and 5, probably closer to 5
C. It is between 6 and 7, probably closer to 6
D. It is between 5 and 6, probably closer to 6
A. It is between 5 and 6, probably closer to 5
To determine the approximate value of the square root of 28, let's consider the nearest perfect squares. The perfect square below 28 is 25 (5^2), and the perfect square above 28 is 36 (6^2).
Since the square root of 28 is between 5 and 6, the statement that is true is:
A. It is between 5 and 6, probably closer to 5
