Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To determine which statement is true about the square root of 28, we can use some estimation techniques.

First, let's find the perfect square that is closest to 28. The square of 5 is 25, and the square of 6 is 36. Since 25 is less than 28 and 36 is greater than 28, we can conclude that the square root of 28 is between 5 and 6.

Now, let's determine which statement is more accurate by considering the proximity to 28.

Statement A suggests that the square root of 28 is between 6 and 7, probably closer to 6. However, since 6^2 equals 36, which is greater than 28, statement A is not true.

Statement B suggests that the square root of 28 is between 5 and 6, probably closer to 6. Since 6 is closer to 28 compared to 5, statement B is also not true.

Statement C suggests that the square root of 28 is between 4 and 5, probably closer to 5. Since 5^2 equals 25, which is less than 28, and 6^2 equals 36, which is greater than 28, statement C is correct.

Therefore, the answer is C. It is between 4 and 5, probably closer to 5.
